It contains a collection philosophical musings catalyzed by Def Con 7, the underground hacker party at which Back Orifice 2000 (among other things) was announced. The version that's posted on the Web has a few cosmetic flaws -- in particular, spelling and continuity errors which appear to have been introduced during the magazine's copy editing process. (I NEVER would have written "illusive" instead of "elusive," for example.) Nonetheless, the column raises some issues concerning "hacker ethics" which I believe merit further discussion.
