HIR Issue 4: Introduction
March 1, 1998: Special Ascii Edition
Welcome, reader, to our Special Ascii Edition of Hackers Information Report. You guys using graphical browsers to look at this will simply NOT get it. Use a real browser (like lynx or Minuet), or download the files and look at them with a real text viewer (none of this NOTEPAD.EXE stuff...that'll make it look even worse). HiR is best viewed in vi under unix, or EDIT in dos.
For those of you who have just joined us, our mag can be found at the following places:

HiR is an electronic magazine devoted to the freedom of information and technology. We do not condone ripping people off for the sake of passing boredom. We are here to share the wealth of information that exists out there, that we have either learned, or come up with on our own. HiR makes the best attempt to keep the content of the mag ethical.
Typically, hack walk-throughs are not provided, but information pertentant to a systems inner workings are often discussed, allowing individuals to deduce for themselves any other options that can be pursued with the information. ONLY Hacking and Phreaking issues are discussed here. There is no death and destructuction, no warez sites, or even virii, and especially, NO CARDING. These are activities which are extremely questionable when it comes to the educational/informative side. (We're sorry to disappoint the people who like to blow things up...some of us like to do that too, we just don't cover it)
HiR is written and assembled by the following people:
