Phrack
lorehackingops culture
The underground e-zine, published since 1985, that carried hacker culture's founding texts and its deepest technical writing.
Phrack (phreak plus hack) has run since 1985 as a volunteer electronic magazine; issue 7 carried the Hacker Manifesto, and issue 49's 'Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit' by Aleph One taught a generation how buffer overflows actually work, founding modern exploit literacy. Prosecutors once valued a document it republished at tens of thousands of dollars in the Steve Jackson Games era crackdowns; the text was effectively public. It is the field's samizdat, still publishing.
