HITB Ezine ‘Reloaded’ – Issue #001
Welcome to 2010! We are proud to announce the immediate availability of
our newly ‘reborn’ HITB ezine! You can grab your digital copies here:
https://www.hackinthebox.org/misc/HITB-Ezine-Issue-001.pdf
As some of you may know, we’ve previously had an ezine that
used to be published monthly, however the birth of the HIT-
BSecConf conference series has kept us too busy to continue
working on it. Until now that is…
As with our conference series, the main purpose of this new
format ezine is to provide security researchers a technical
outlet for them to share their knowledge with the security
community. We want these researchers to gain further recog-
nition for their hard work and we have no doubt the security
community will find the material beneficial to them.
We have decided to make the ezine available for free in the
continued spirit of HITB in “Keeping Knowledge Free”. In addi-
tion to the freely available PDF downloads, combined editions
of the magazine will be printed in limited quantities for distri-
bution at the various HITBSecConf’s around the world – Dubai,
Amsterdam and Malaysia. We aim to only print somewhere
between 100 or 200 copies (maybe less) per conference so be
sure to grab a copy when they come out!
Happy New Year once again and we hope you enjoy the zine!

Bleeping Radar
The time has come, once again!
Masters from all over the world will convene,
Battles will be fought, empowered by deep knowledge,
Hardwares will become the new Software! (-ish)
when Robin Hood embraces the modern day lifestyle.
This will be the day to cherish, the moment of truth!
Interoperability will be attacked, and Software Protection will be defeated via Metasm,
Blackberries will be crushed, making software dumber.
Physical locks give way to the inevitable, HAM Radio rises to seize the day.
The bad guys are winning… so what?
Retaliation to own the world begins — One desktop at a time.
Tempest will be called upon from within mobile command centres.
PDF origami strikes back, having fun with ATMs and HSMs.
There will be NO TURNING BACK!
This, is the way its supposed to be.
This is, Hack In The Box!
