content

The hacker's bible is a hodgepodge of documents and stories from the hacking scene, such as the instructions for the acoustic coupler known as the “ data toilet ” . It also offers building instructions and other technical backgrounds. The first edition was published in 1985 with the subtitle Kabelsalat is healthy , and by mid-1988 had a circulation of 25,000 copies. Issue 2 from 1988 is also called The New Testament . The comic drawings on the cover pictures are a creation of the German comic artists Mali Beinhorn and Werner Büsch from the comic workshop Büsch-Beinhorn . The production and sale of the Hackerbibel ceased before 1990. A third part of the Hacker Bible was announced, but never appeared. Since 1999 the CCC has been offering a scanned and full-text version with additional material, such as texts by Peter Glaser , a documentation on Karl Koch and the work of Tron , on the Chaos CD.
