HIR Issue 4: Hacker Newz
BECOME ENLIGHTENED
Mirror Sites:
As you may have read in the first file (intro/ToC) to this issue of HiR, We're now working in conjunction with the people at TwistedinterneT services (www.twistedinternet.com), a site that impressed the hell out of Axon while he net surfed one day. HiR can be found in the library, under the magazines, on their web site. Make sure to check out their files too (especially some of the unix and phreaking stuph!) As far as the spread of information is concerned, I haven't seen this much stuff in one place at the same time since the death of silicon toad's page (if it's still around, mail us the URL!!! We miss that place too!). Proof that there is still a glimmer of hope for the freedom of information!

The Man in Black/Rosencrantz has also provided a mirror for the southwestern region of the united states (Physical server location is socorro, New mexico). This is a full mirror site of the official HiR page, and contains nearly the exact same content.
The URL is: HTTP://azure.rcn.nmt.edu:2007/HiR/ Yes, it's case sensitive.

What's with the ASCII!!??
This issue has been deemed the "Special ASCII Edition" of HiR. All of the article titles are ascii-ized, and some of the other parts have been created in that wonderful high-bit character set. If you're trying to view this in netscape, MSIE, wordpad, notepad, or anything else graphical, it probably will look like crap, and that's because your veiwer sucks! Use a real text viewer like vi or something...hell, use EDIT in dos, or pico (shudder) under unix. If you really knew what you were doing, you'd be using lynx as your browser, and you could read ALL this stuff online, isn't that nice?!
˙˘¯˘˙.˙˘¯˘˙.˙˘¯˘˙.
As usual, we need writers. While we won't nessecarily take everything that comes our way, I'm sure that there are plenty of hackers out there willing to share their knowledge with others. If you're into (or used to be into) the H/P scene, and consider yourself a decent writer, then by all means send some of your work to H_i_R@Hotmail.com, with your article submission attached. The more info, the better!

Recently, while digging around in dumpsters, Axon and his friend Frogman ran across this book that blows the motorola bible out of the water. It was a training book used for an employee education seminar. Held within its 300+ pages is such a wealth of information, from programming instructions for each motorola phone, to troubleshooting tips, a frequency / channel table for both AMPS and N-AMPS, and ever so much more than that. Over the next few issues, you can expect to find quite a few articles dealing with cellular. We will attempt to unravel the mysteries that are clarified within it's pages. The original owner of the manual was even kind enough to jot down some notes in the margins that provide even more detail. We'll keep you posted.

This pretty much concludes HiR 4. Keep your eyes peeled on our sites for new and exciting things happening, as well as an update on how the newest HiR is coming along. Tentative release date for HiR 5 is May 1, 1998.
