spl0it has decided to join forces with LoU in their war against China and Iraq. f0bic of spl0it said this in an email message to HNN "It's unjust to put hackers in prison longer then rapists and thiefs, and now they even want to execute people for doing this.

L0pht Heavy Industries has released a major security advisory only one day after releasing their new tool L0phtCrack 2.5. This new advisory claims that Windows98 uses the same cryptographic challenge for up to 15 minutes. Since the Challenge is reused and the response stays the same this could allow an attacker to impersonate a user and make a connection to a machine they are not supposed to have access to.

In a daring daytime heist five thieves, armed with pistols and stun guns, broke into a Sprint telephone office in Las Vegas on Sunday. They tied up several employees and stole pieces of very specialized telephone switching equipment causing an 7 and half hour outage of phone service to approximately 75,000 customers. Sprint is being tight lipped as to exactly what the equipment was saying that its only value would be to either set up a telephone switch or to sell it to someone who was.

Issue number 1 of Antidote has been released by theposion.org. At least one article was lifted word for word without permission from HNN. Makes you wonder if the rest of it is original.
