Spoiler for anyone else that got excited: nothing new has been published.

New content is clearly not a requirement for posting old links on hn :). This was a little experiment to see how it compares to the overthewire links which show up every few months.

Interesting difference in reactions, the actual hacker content gets a yawn :).

Not new, but it helps.

Or at least some explanation for why you shared it.

Spare us the experiment. Plenty of discussion when the content is fresh https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28758486

If the last time HN looked at phrack was 2021, you are welcome for me bringing this gem back for anyone who hasn't seen it, and hey maybe we will get some papers for the next issue

I once hired someone because they got published in Phrack. best decision ever.

Same, and in fact it was Sinan as a consultant because of his smashing the stack article. I was not disappointed with the results.

Any time I'm in Barnes and Noble (in the US) I find the latest copy of 2600 magazine, which is in the same vein as phrack.

With 2600 at least, I can never find anything that interesting to read. Articles are usually about a) the hacker ethos, b) some ancient system and its exploit or c) a current system that's incredibly niche and its exploit, all with wildly varying article quality.

2600 is so bad these days, very sad.

Don’t forget about hacktic and xs4all.

Xs4all, I did forget! Thanks for reminding
