A classic, been around since 1985.

https://github.com/deadbits/Zines used to be an archive of tons of similar ezines, the repo has been disabled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Some of the zines it used to have include HITB, PhineasFisher, TeaMp0isoN, ZF0, anti-anti-sec, anti-sec, b4b0, dikline, el8, h0no, htp, owned and exposed, phrack, pocorgtfo, uninformed.

On a more modern note, https://pagedout.institute/ is great.



https://files.awknode.com/zines/ seems to be a mirror


40hex was one of my favourites back in the day, but it was focused purely on virii

It was fascinating get an unvarnished look inside that world, complete with ethical/political discussion and of course source code with annotations!


Some of the 40hex people turned into pretty hardcore vulnerability researchers (at least by 1990s standards).


Love that 40hex was "raw" with little editorial (aS wELL aS pOSTS wITH iNVERTED cASE). E.g.

    XOR is a matamatical function that can be used to cifer and decifer data with the same key.
Some of the code comments are pure gold.


If you didn't read 29A I highly recommend it. It was even more technical, but I enjoyed it along with 40Hex.
