Hello readers and welcome to issue #7. It has been a long journey since the first release of the magazine and we have seen a lot of changes and improvements overtime and still trying our best to do more. But as we grow, the amount of work and the time we need to spend working on the magazine have also increased, thus requiring us to recruit more people to join our small editorial team. So, if you think you would like to do something for the community and believe that we can have a great use of your talent - Feel free to drop us an email! As for issue #7, Jonathan Kent wrote a great piece of article about the current global crisis in the cyberspace while Aditya K. Sood and his team on the other hand wrote about extending SQL injection attacks through buffer overflow exploitation. We are also very happy to have Jonathan Brossard contributing an article introducing the readers to his newly released exploitation framework. We will leave you to explore the rest of the articles and we hope you enjoy them. Have fun reading this issue and more to come in issue #8!!
