Editing Phrack (section)

===Pre-2000===
After the arrest of Knight Lightning, and the shutdown of ''Phrack'' by the [[United States Secret Service|US Secret Service]] in late December 1989 a few weeks after issue #30 was released, some attempts were made to resurrect ''Phrack'' under the editorship of Doc Holiday and Crimson Death. However, the lack of consent from the original editor to accept this ''Phrack Classic'' led to a new editorship for issue #33 by Dispater under the name ''Diet Phrack'' until issue #41.

Issue #42 was released under the editorship of [[Erik Bloodaxe (hacker)|Erik Bloodaxe]] in 1992. In September 1994, the first ''Phrack'' website appeared with release #46, containing all the files from the previous issues.

With the growing use of the internet and interest in computer security, from 1996 ''Phrack'' became increasingly oriented toward [[computer security]]. The editorship was handed to [[Mike D. Schiffman|route]] along with voyager until 2000 (release #56). During this period, the ''Phrack'' website was [[Website defacement|defaced]] several times and the magazine was often unavailable.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://phrack.com/owned-by.html|title=owned-by.html|date=2 December 1998|url-status=bot: unknown|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981202233037/http://phrack.com/owned-by.html|archive-date=2 December 1998}}</ref>
