We're sorry for taking so long getting our issues out lately.  We're all
bogged down with a lot of other work right now, and we at least have some
stuff to show for it.  Our main website (http://axon.jccc.net/hir) is
where to get HiR.  our old url (hir.home.ml.org) is down for good, as 
ml.org is kind of broken (out of business), and we have www.hir.cx
registered.  It may work in the future.  It should be a lot like our
ml.org address, being on the same machine as axon.jccc.net.

Speaking of webpages, Asmodian and Axon did a MAJOR revamp on the HiR
Distro site since the last Issue.  Content is almost identical, but the
navigation is a lot better.  We're adding more and more files (but still a
fairly selective blend).  We've separated files into Windows and
UNIX/Linux, and ... well, just check out the site <REPETITION>the URL is
http://axon.jccc.net/hir</REPETITION>.  heh.

We're really going to let the Zine come out whenever it's ready now (sort
of like phrack, etc).  We'll post how the next Issue is coming along in
the very front page of the Distro site, but never be bashful if things
haven't changed... you never know what lurks around on the site, as it
gets updates quite often...

HiR is an electronic publication that is written by real hackers and phone
phreaks that have the desire to share information.  We only publish articles
related to hacking and phreaking.  We don't cover viruses, stealing, carding,
or blowing things up.

As a general rule, we don't do many walk-thru's; occasionally we might, 
but we almost always focus more on explaining a given aspect in enough 
depth to help the reader understand why things happen.  With that 
information, they may learn for themselves and discover many other 
things related to the article.

We are always looking for new writers.  If you are (or were) in the H/P
scene, and consider yourself a decent writer, send us some of your work.
Our e-mail is h_i_r@hotmail.com or hir@axon.jccc.net.
