 Nick: Rue-the-Day 
 E-mail: root@Rue-the-Day.net 
 Reason behind nick: Most people who know me would probably 
agree that an old, archaic English phrase that's fallen into 
disuse is suitable for me. Actually I do see 'rue' used a 
fair amount, always brings a smile to my face. Usually in 
fantasy or sci-fi books, but that's okay. Incidentally 'rue the 
day' means to regret a past misdeed or action, glad we've 
got the cleared up. 
 I guess that I have to ask myself two questions; 'What do I 
want to tell people about me?' and 'What do people want me 
tell about myself?'. I think the answer to both is 'as little 
as possible'. 
 Brief physical description (for those that care). I'm tall  
(6'3"), thin and pale. I wear a lot of black, I'm generally 
the kind of guy that people refuse to sit next to on public 
transport. It has something to do with my self-perfected  
aura of menace, I think... 
 I'm involved in the Kevin Mitnick campaign, I'll be talking  
more about that in future issues, I feel that is very impor- 
tant. At this point I'm primarily interested in hacking  
although I do still phreak (when I need to). I'm quite fond 
of Unix, definitely as an alternative to Windows. 

 Nick: Cronus 
 Reason for nick: Cronus was a Greek mythological God. He  
was God of the skies and also ruler of the Titans. The nick 
is my celestial ego trip... 
 Background: I got involved with computers at an extremely 
young age and taught myself to program. This progressed to  
going on-line for the first time as a teenager. I have been 
learning and understanding ever since I first sat in front  
of a computer and the net was simply on outlet for that. I 
quickly got interested in hacking and my knowledge grew and 
still is growing.  
 Ethos: I live by firm ethics of never damaging and never  
taking money. Victims are not just there, they are man-made. 
 Areas of interest: Computer security, both Unix and NT.  
Also programming and freelance web design (something has to  
pay the bills). 
 Description: Hmm... tall, big and scary or so I'm told. My 
eccentric personality is to my credit and my heavy sense of 
morals to my advantage.  
 Current projects: This Zine namely, but also my site is  
getting a major over-haul; http://homepages.iol.ie/~cronus 
and I am actively securing a few servers (from the outside).
