Issue #19
Well folks, Issue #19 of our e-zine is finally out! It's been pretty hectic (what else is new) especially since Defcon was happening around the same time as I was getting the articles together... Fortunately, madirish has come out of hiding and brought with him a fairly large chunk of the contents for this issue. As a matter of fact, it appears that the issue is pretty much the efforts of him and myself, with perhaps the exception of the SecuriTeam article put in to make it seem 'less obvious'! :)

Getting started with SQL (part 3).
By: L33tdawg
As promised, I shall wrap things up this month with some examples of starting an SQL
database and testing the connections and such in PHP If you're wondering what the

continuing on. For those of you that have stuck with me this far, let's get to it...

NT Security Tools

"Why should NT always be unix's poor cousin when it
comes to tcp/ip testing and exploration? I bet many NT admins out there
keep a unix box around to use tools such as Netcat or to test their systems
with the unix version of an NT vulnerability exploit."

File Removal: How to be sure
By: madirish
File deletion and recovery is often assumed to be as simple as placing a file in the 'Recycle Bin' and selecting 'Empty' or moving a file back onto the desktop from the recycle bin. What actually happens when a file is saved is the data to be saved is moved from RAM (Random Access Memory), which is the computer's sort of short-term memory, onto disk (usually hard disk - the computer's hard drive). The file is saved as magnetic ones and zeros (binary) on the permanent internal disk so that power can be cut but data storage is retained.
The Art of Programming.
By: Dinesh Nair
Traditionally, a lot of avant-garde believers are also highly supportive of the arts and culture. They appreciate, support and fund artists, both from the literary segments and performing arts. Arts and culture, they say, are the expression of our lives. Following this, practitioners of the arts are given free room to explore their creative processes. They get paid to play.
