I'm instantly in love with the International Journal of PoC||GTFO. How did I not know about this before? It feels like the old Apple ][ hack/phreak days again

I'm instantly in love with the International Journal of PoC||GTFO. How did I not know about this before? It feels like the old Apple ][ hack/phreak days again. http://www.sultanik.com/pocorgtfo/ http://www.sultanik.com/pocorgtfo/

Takes me back to 2600 :)

  I thought 2600 too but 2600 was, IMO, light on the PoC and very heavy on the GFTO.

    On that note, this is one of the most impressive demos I've ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Wk9Oi_Fsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Wk9Oi_Fsk (When you're familiar with what a baseline atari 2600 game looks like, this is just beyond the pale.)

      Sorry, I was referring to the magazine, not the video game platform.

    Still is heavy on the GTFO, they still know how to tell tell people to fuck off in innovative and superficially polite ways.

OK I'm in love too now: >>Technical Note: The polyglot file pocorgtfo10.pdf is valid as a PDF, as a ZIP file, and as an LSMV recording of a Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS) that exploits Pok´emon Red in a Super GameBoy on a Super NES. The result of the exploit is a chat room that plays the text of PoCkGTFO 10:3. Run it in LSNES with the Gambatte plugin, the Japanese version of the Super Game Boy ROM and the USA/Europe version of Pok´emon Red.

  Then there's the articles by Natalie Silvanovich, who's specialised in hacking different versions of Tamagotchis. I mean... they're Tamagotchis, for crying out loud. A tiny plastic box with a 16x32 pixel monochrome screen, a speaker and three buttons. But this awesome hacker goes out of her way to pwn that 6502 and run her own code on it...

I've only found out about it a couple of weeks ago too via some infosec dudes i follow on twitter. It's hugely technical and full of awesome shit and easter eggs like the microdots in this version.

I'm pretty sure that PoC||GTFO is the successor to Phrack (at least in spirit). They list pastor@phrack.org as the submissions address.

Why did new issues stop last June?

  Because that's just a mirror, someone obviously stopped updating it. Here you go :) https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/ https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/
