My favourite crazy font thing is Chartwell - a font which can be used to add many sophisticated chart types to your document, using discretionary / rare ligatures:

(User manual here: https://assets.vectrotype.com/specimens/Chartwell-Manual-24-...)
I've used this to rapidly add charting functionality to various apps over the years - it can be used to produce amazing-looking, dynamic charts, within minutes!
I have, for years, wanted to dissect Chartwell and understand it better .. there are many other fonts which use rare ligatures for interesting purposes, too ..

POC||GTFO is one of those things that, once you dive in, you will never regret taking the effort to fully grok.

AI-Generated summary of issues relating to disassembly:
PoC||GTFO 0x10 (pocorgtfo10.pdf, January 2016): Titled around "IN THE THEATER OF LITERATE DISASSEMBLY," this entire issue focuses on reverse engineering and disassembly. It includes articles and examples involving disassembly of various systems (e.g., mentions of built-in monitors and naive disassemblers like in Apple ][ contexts, along with reverse engineering hood-lifting). It heavily features disassembly as a theme, with likely code listings and explanations that effectively serve as or demonstrate disassembler usage/output.
PoC||GTFO 0x21 (pocorgtfo21.pdf, February 2022): This issue explicitly mentions a "Notebook of Altera NIOS Disassembly" in its content/description. Articles cover disassembly (e.g., of Altera NIOS soft-core processor code), and one notes that while focused on disassembly, full target plugins would include an assembler, disassembler, code analysis, etc. This strongly indicates the PDF contains disassembly examples, outputs, or even PoC implementations/discussions of disassembler functionality for that architecture.
Other issues occasionally include disassembly snippets or references (e.g., 0x11, 0x13, 0x15 show snippets like disassembled code blocks for specific exploits or systems), but they are more incidental rather than centered on a disassembler tool or example.
