Author -=The Firestarter=- ---------------------------------------------------------- [ The Relaunch and Re-Birth of the SWATeam ] ---------------------------------------------------------- We're back! after many years of planning a return to the scene, i finally got around too it. Between work, girlfriends and parties, life left little time to produce anything worthy of releasing to the masses. Now, thanks to the recession, we have plenty of time on our hands. All those half baked articles that where stockpiled for other projects can be redone and released under our flag. BackTrack 4 has been released and works more flawlessly with the eeePC 701, and the mastering of linux systems has only opened up more fun for us to have. We've also concluded that the reason Brakis gets quizzed at every airport he travels through is because hes on some FBI watch list, personally i've never been quizzed, but then again i don't fly. So whats all this site about these days? well not wanting to get any of us on any other watch lists we've decided against releasing fun philes on things that go b00m, although the good old home made fireworks still continue to this day, much like it did before the days of SWAT. Hacking and Phreaking, along with the good old scams, revenge and other fun ideas and tactics that always made us a number 1 hit amoungst our followers will be the forefront of this new endevour. Expect a lot more useful information to pass through our hands and filter down to the masses. Getting back activly into the scene was fun, a quick scout around the exploit database's, pulling up some 0-day 'sploit then going on a hacking spree brought back fun memories of the past. Next stop, finialising that project of owning the telegraphs vms - wh00ps said too much already muhahahaha. Truth is, although the sites been on the dead side these past few years, we've still been carrying out our h/p activities, albeit on a much smaller scale,although that said it still doesn't mean much to the law enforcement agencies that hassle our members at airports. so how is this all new relaunch going to work? well its gonna be done how we first did it - one step at a time. Most of you reading this file will have done so after our mass marketing campaign, its those of you that read it earlier that will have the chance to see the fruits of our labour grow and even have the opertunity to "get in there" with the krew. While we're on the subject of it, needing a bit of help with things is something we could use, the krew is small, barely a handful of members, but we are skilled in what we do. That however doesn't mean they all have time to contribute, more help with other "projects" that we have on the go. but that is irrelevent. As much as we'd love to realease the magazine again, until we can grow the momentum of the SWATeam, the best you will probably get for now is released articles on a periodical basis. That said it might work out well as we'll probably end up releasing more like that than we did in the ol' zine, least we won't be holding stuff back for next month haha. One thing i'd like to do, is thank our following, which i have discovered still exists to this day, proves there must still be thousands of individuals out there that follow our ethos in life and still enjoy a bit of digital mischief. So, i welcome you all to the relaunch of the SWATeam, new re-brand new site design, same old fun and games. [-----------------------------------------------------------------]
