- ^ Peikari C.; Chuvakin A.: Security Warrior, O'Reilly, page 11, "+Fravia, maintained a motley web site known as +Fravia’s Pages of Reverse Engineering. In this forum +Fravia not only challenged programmers, but society itself to “reverse engineer” the brainwashing of a corrupt and rampant materialism. At one point +Fravia’s site was receiving millions of traffic hits per year, and its influence was widespread."
