DefCon. I love DefCon. Why do I love DefCon? Several reasons. I get to
|
|
see many people I do not normally get to hang out with. And it's in Las Vegas.
|
|
Ok, I guess that's two reasons. I love DefCon for two reasons.
|
|
|
|
Las Vegas is a blast. No two ways about it. Free drinks _while_ you get
|
|
FREE money. What more can anymore ask for?!@ Sex? Gluttony? Corruption?
|
|
Greed? Thin facades? Tackiness? Friends, it's _all_ there.
|
|
|
|
Vegas is certainly not for everyone. It's not for the timid, the shy or
|
|
the compulsive. Vegas can and will eat you alive, if you are not careful.
|
|
Even the most vigilant often find themselves victimized by Sin City... As I
|
|
write this paragraph, my memory draws me back... back to that first week in
|
|
July 1997, towards the end of DefCon V, when a good friend and seasoned Vegas
|
|
adventurer came knocking on my door at half past 5am...
|
|
|
|
He was armed with a coke in one hand, a whiskey in the other. The fact
|
|
that he was noticely unencumbered by money caught my eye. The Casino Demons
|
|
had relieved him of that. He was in need of a safe place to camp for a few
|
|
hours... I happily obliged. I attempted to make his stay with us as
|
|
comfortable as possible... However, my friend refused all attempts at
|
|
hospitality. He was still deep in the throes of what professional Vegas
|
|
travelers call 'The Zone'. He was in a dull haze, a casino-atmosphere-induced
|
|
catatonic state, in which external stimuli are, for the most part, ignored.
|
|
There was little I could do for him, so I bedded down... And there he sat,
|
|
engulfed in darkness, deep within his own world... Eventually, exhaustion
|
|
overcame him, and he drifted into an uncomfortable sleep... Early in the
|
|
morning, he arose, determined to retake his reappropriated wealth.
|
|
|
|
It took me a few tries of getting raped by that town before I realized how
|
|
it works, and, more importantly, how to work it.
|
|
|
|
It can be summed up in one word. An abbreviation even. COMPS. Vegas is
|
|
all about being compensated for. Compensation for being in out in the fucking
|
|
desert. Compensation for staying in some shitty hotel. Compensation for
|
|
winning some of their money. Compensation for losing ALL of your money.
|
|
Learning how to have a good time in Vegas means learning how to get comped.
|
|
In order to be comped, you must either a) be some one important, b) know
|
|
someone important, or the most common occurrence, c) comp other people.
|
|
|
|
This past DefCon, I had my room upgraded from a single-bed room on the
|
|
first floor, to a double-bed on the second, and then from that to a $400/nite
|
|
suite somewhere up in the 20's (you know, the kind with the double doors).
|
|
It's all about knowing how to work the system. Knowing how to get comped.
|
|
Complaining about something is often a good way to get something for free in
|
|
Vegas. So is being put out in some fashion or another. Go ahead and watch
|
|
Casino and Swingers a few dozen times and you will get the idea...
|
|
|
|
|
|
A word about this issue. In my opinion, and the opinion of many people
|
|
way cooler then me, this is the Best Phrack Issue Ever (TM). Ok. Now. In
|
|
Issue 48, I know I promised timely dissemination. However, I am an older /
|
|
wiser Phrack editor now, and, what it comes down to, is that timeliness is not
|
|
always possible. Not when there is a minimum level of excellence that must be
|
|
preserved. This issue is a perfect example of that phenomena. We have
|
|
amassed some seriously cool shit this time around. Technical excellence
|
|
abounds here, and if we are a few weeks late, I think it should be well worth
|
|
the wait. We've got several ground breaking articles, a great deal of source,
|
|
fully nude photos of Milla Jovovich (not available in ASCII-Phrack) and a new
|
|
format. Commentary, as always, is appreciated.
|
|
|
|
What makes this (or any) issue so damned good? Simple. The incredible
|
|
array of talented individuals that graciously lend their time to writing
|
|
articles for us. I just want to give a word of thanks to you guys: past,
|
|
present and future. Without you, Phrack would slip quietly into the night...
|
|
This issue, a special werdup to halflife for the technically superior work
|
|
he contributed for P51, thrice over.
|
|
|
|
Phrack 51 comes atcha power-packed with new streamlined formatting! We
|
|
cut out colons, added a surplus of dashes and brackets, and b00m! Less fluff,
|
|
more EDGE. Areodynamicphrack. Europhrack. _Slickphrack_.
|
|
|
|
Bad to the bone and shot to the heart when you think about Phrack, you touch
|
|
yourself.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy the magazine. It is for and by the hacking community. Period.

PS
|
|
|
|
The aforementioned gamblaholic ended up being comped three $20 meals, and a
|
|
show (Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo). Man, that lucky son-of-a-bitch got to
|
|
see Lance at the Carlo...
