These days I read the Chris Thomas’ book: Space Rogue How the hackers known as l0pht changed the world.
It is a great book and I recommend it. It’s very entertaining and reads very quickly. It was just as interesting for me to learn about l0pht’s history and philosophy on computer security as it was about Space Rogue’s history and personal anecdotes. It was also an exercise in nostalgia to remember those not-so-old days. The truth is that I spent a few hours enjoying it completely abstracted from everything :)
The fact is that on the front and back covers this binary code appears:
1

After reading the book, and knowing (a bit) about Space Rogue and the l0pht people, it could not be simple gibberish. So, I took a while and started to transcribe and decipher it, and the result is:

Enjoy! ;)
