Butchered From Inside
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Butchered From Inside (BFI) is an electronic magazine edited by the Italian hacker community (most notably, the S0ftpj group). It has been published, albeit irregularly, for over 10 years. It has also published various paper editions, such as the one for MOCA, the 10-year summer camp for the organization "Metro Olografix", the oldest italian hacker's association (similar in inception to the German CCC).
The editing criteria of originality and the peer review process are very similar to the ones adopted by Phrack magazine (which mentions BFI as "nice mag" [1]).
While all the published issues are in the Italian language, French and English translations of a few articles are available. An archive of tools produced by contributors is also available. Some well known, published software such as KSTAT (Kernel Security Therapy Anti-Trolls) have been published and developed on and for BFI. This, and other content published on BFI, has been cited in at least 4 books[2], as well as on VX Heavens [3], and in mixed other archives [4].
The BFI staff has been interviewed a number of times by in-print media (such as "ICT Security", the only Italian printed magazine on the subject), as well as Internet media [5].
