Phrack is so incredibly important. I’m so happy it’s still going, even if it takes half a decade per issue. The day it dies, a serious piece of internet culture dies.
Looking forward to Phrack 77, smashing cognition for fun an profit, where we learn to jailbreak our minds with the aid of internalized neuromorphic instruction set architecture.
"I know what you're trying to do."
"I'm trying to free your mind."
I've heard the name Phrack before but never really sought it out. I've sometimes unknowingly read it such as [1] "Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit" by Aleph1. In any case, I'm quite naieve about the whole culture surrounding it.
My question: how come that Phrack takes a few years to publish nowadays? Looking back at it, it published much more frequently.
Cultural norms? Nobody really reads zines anymore. I'm not part of that age either but smashing the stack is really a piece of internet history.
Anyone found their antispam keyword for paper submission?
It's literally just the word “ANTISPAM”.
I think this was where most people learnt about buffer overflow attacks and return pointer control. I didn't realize they were still publishing. With multi-year intervals lol
