hoj, jestli nekdo pamatujete phrack (pro mladsi, neco jako prielom, co vychazi od roku 1985), tak porad prekvapive vychazi a zrovna ma call for papers. kdyby to nekoho inspirovalo.
hoj & hezky leto,

--[ Phrack 72 Call For Papers
For the past 40 years, Phrack has been an outlet for hackers. A place for those who want to share knowledge, seek truth, find understanding, bridge gaps, celebrate culture, and of course, break spells.
We publish this zine and carry on its legacy for the simple fact that resources like this have become increasingly rare. Whether it's due to economic, social, or political forces, sharing information about how systems actually work is usually against the interest of those in power. As hackers know, most systems are actually much more fragile than they are made out to be, and any form of power or authority has a burden of proof. It must demonstrate its legitimacy to those it holds authority over. Otherwise, their systems will eventually be dismantled.
Phrack has brought the hacker community together for four decades now. This has been the direct result of hundreds of authors, dozens of editors, and countless readers keeping this project alive and well. We all have a stake in keeping things like Phrack going.
It's important to not take our resources for granted. Resources only exist for as long as people want to maintain them. If you want to see Phrack, and projects like it, continue for another 40 years, then do something about it. Whether it's simply sharing the zine, expanding on research, or sending in new ideas, we all make up the broader community and culture that sustains this. We can work together to create things that will be useful for us now, and provide insight well into the future.
Hackers like you made Phrack what it is. Hackers like you make Phrack what it will be.
Phrack 72 will be released in summer of 2025, at an event near you. Thank you to everyone who helped make our last issue a huge success! We are looking forward to creating another issue to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Phrack!
--[ What do we want?
Articles about hacking, exploit development, vulnerability research, and other fine topics.
More Specifically:
- Exploitation: Demonstrate the latest techniques in breaking mitigations and proving vulnerabilities still have bite.
- Persistence: Whether its userland, kernel, or below ring0, share a trick in the dark art of stealth persistence.
- Fuzzing and Code Analysis: Automated bug hunting finds the low hanging fruit, how can we make it more lethal?
- Binary Obfuscation: We have decompilers but custom VMs and powerful transformations create impenetrable code.
- Data Obfuscation: Time to exfil, how do you move a terabyte of data without looking like a fool?
- Anti-Forensics: Leave no trace, hide in the mist, or maybe even deploy countermeasures on the parsers!
- Web Applications: Discuss confusion, bypass, and injection attacks on the multi-headed hydra of modern applications.
- Cloud Security: Complexity and lack of visibility is the soft underbelly of cloud compute, discuss.
- Data Storage Weaknesses: If data theft is the end goal, let's talk about all the leaks in storage infra and APIs.
- Exploit Mitigation: Finding every bug is futile, how do we design more secure systems to block these attacks?
- Malware Analysis: The world is covered in a diaspora of malware, flay open the code and inspect the innards. - Malware Defense: We wade in a pool of parasites attacking from every angle, how do we block their vicious effects?
- Exotic Reverse Engineering: What are the corrupt hidden hands of power in this electronic substrate?
- Scene History: Let us learn the often isolated tribal history that hasn't been written about before.
- Tales from the Crypt: Want to tell a personal story of a righteous hack? Maybe we'll believe you.
Even if you don't have a paper, we would still love to hear from you. - Do you have a story about Phrack? - What papers have inspired you the most? - What do you want to see in the future? - Anything else you need to get off your chest? - Let us know at loopback[at]phrack{dot}org
