Did any of you guys catch the Lainchan greetz in the latest 2600?

nice :)

>>7994 Very nice!

>>7994 wew lad

Just bought a copy todsy and was pleasantly surprised. Is this the first time lainchan was referenced in printed media?

>>8002 That's a good question. I didn't get any results for other papers. Saw a lot about several Chinese people named Lain Chan though. So like 2600, any lainons have other recommendations for hacker rags or technical magazines? I just wish there were more paper magazines like it but in other areas like programming, network engineering, crypto, etc.

>>8003 There's always Phrack, but that's digital and rarely gets updates these days,

Nice.

>>8003 I know it sounds cliche, but -- be the change you want to see in the world. If a magazine you like doesn't exist yet, try starting it. You never know where the adventure could take you.

Anybody know where I can get a copy of this for free?

>>8009 About half a century ago there was a man named Abbie. He wrote a book called "Steal This Book".

>>8005 >Phrack Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time. 90's memories are flooding back.

>>8011 What question are you answering?

>>8014 He's saying to five-finger it. Pocket it. Get out with it "Steal" by any other phrase.

I think I've lost some neurons after reading this article. Is this what modern hacker magazines are about?

>>8021 Basically. What do you expect when the 'maker' community tries to re-appropriate the term hacker and make it into a dilute, useless word that just means 'any software engineer who at least partially does their job' and also 'person who owns a soldering iron.'

>>8022 Afaik hacking equates to modding, haven't seen anyone call the guys making models to 3d print hackers so far. Those modding guides are often minimal effort but changing a product outside the manufacturer's intention does retain the original spirit.

>>8030 True. I've def seen those 3d printer guys self-describe as hackers, though. Kinda weak imo

>>8051 Hopefully was about 3d printed hacks. I.E. something I've been using myself is a yagi-antenna mod which is just a stick with correctly distanced holes to set wires and pull over regular wlan radial antennas. Looks laughable basic but does an amazing job if you need more reach.

>>8020 Ah I see. It's not sold in stores anywhere near me

>>8022 So it's not a real hacker magazine anymore?

yoo i saw this in the store and spat out my coffee.

>>8021 Hello, I'm the author. This article was a simple one-page experience, published near the back of the magazine. This wasn't a l33t h4x0r guide or anything technical, just thoughts about a potential attack vector on those who use default VPN configurations.

Is there anywhere you can read 2600 scans without paying?

>>8066 Not that I know of, unless another lain uploads them for you.

>>8060 Thanks for the reminder. Never use a VPN without a Killswitch.
