Here is the cover in question: http://www.linuxformat.com/files/lxf_covers/154-big.jpg.

> Learn to Hack, Attack servers >> Crack passwords >> Exploit services >> Beat encryption >> Everything you need to be evil

Not sure if that warrants pulling from shelves, but it explicitly endorses illegal activity. Everything up until the last phrase could be sold as legitimate penetration testing. I can easily see their lawyers getting twitchy.



Um, except that's "Everything you need to be evil*". The asterisk clearly references this: "for self reference only. Don't break the law!"

(EDIT: removed snark)


I do appreciate the correction and detail, since I honestly can't make it out on my screen.

edit: redaction


Fair enough, apologies for the snarky attack. The caveat is hard to make out, though the asterisk is quite obvious.


It wasn't to me - I thought it was another phrase divider.
