Don't forget, the CFP for the 40th anniversary issue of Phrack is open until June 15th 2025. You can be someone's favorite article in the future!! bsky.app/profile/phra...

There are so many to pick from, but the first Phrack article to directly influence me to replicate and re-apply research was "Writing ia32 alphanumeric shellcodes" by rix. It inspired me to learn about instruction encoding and create my own payloads! phrack.org/issues/57/15

The Hacker’s Manifesto. We are all alike.

Also any phrack news section ever, for recording snippets of hacker history that would otherwise have been lost to time and giving me dreadfully time consuming research tangents and rabbitholes
