K-1ine
From DocDroppers
'K-1ine' is an online magazine featuring technical information about hacking,, electronics, and privacy issues. Started by The Clone (of Nettwerked, HackCanada), K-1ine Magazine is 100% text-only, distributed in electronic form. K-1ine was started in 1999 as a way to bring the Canadian H/P scene together, and so far it has enjoyed many article submissions, hundreds of K-1ine mailing list subscribers, and many thousands of readers since it was created.
The name comes from a mix of Leetspeak and the IRC term K-line, or Kill Line. To reflect the magazine's appeal to hacker-types, the "l" in "K-line" has been replaced with a "1". This yeilds "K-1ine", which is somewhat of a joke phrase to hacker-types.

History
The first issue of K-1ine was released in June of 1999. It began as a "wheneverly" e-zine, being released whenever The Clone had enough time, and article submissions, to compile what he thought was a 'complete' article. The Clone also joined the Hackcanada crew in 1999. K-1ine was then mirrored on www.HackCanada.com, which massively increased its distribution. Consequently, the following issue K-1ine #5 - Follow Me Down in the summer of 2000, the magazine experienced a surge of popularity. The Clone then began releasing it in a monthly format. This continuned until K-1ine #39 - There is no ()fork was released in May of 2003. Article submissions were down, and The Clone began releasing K-1ine quarterly. The quarterly format was continued until K-1ine #47 - SIX F*CKING YEARS was released in 2005. The electronic magazine then went back to it's original "wheneverly" format, due again to lack of article submissions. The magazine is still being put out as often as possible by The Clone. The next release is tenatively scheduled for June 6th, 2006.
K-1ine has received articles from a number of internationally-known hacker-types, including CYB0RG/ASM (of Hackcanada), Lucky225 (http://www.verizonfears.com), and many others. A number of other well-known American and Canadian hackers also submit articles on a regular basis, including Fractal, wizbone, phlux, PsychoSpy, Aestetix, Magma (of The GrassHopper Unit), and others.
The Clone is currently fulfilling the role of editor, producer, and lead content writer. K-1ine is affiliated with the Nettwerked community, including Nettwerked.net, Nettwerked Radio, Nettwerked Telecom, and Nettwerked Meetings.
