Proof of Concept or Get the Fuck Out
Site:
https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/
A Journal I wholly recommend to anyone interested in reverse
engineering, ethical hacking, and exploit prevention.
The journal does a wonderful job of going over so many interesting exploits,
bugs, and techniques from over the years and does so in a tone and attitude that
makes it enjoyable as a more leisurely read than a set of technical
documents.
Additionally, if you would prefer a hard-cover option, there is a HardCover or
Kindle option for a lot of the articles by Manul Laphroaig on Amazon.
This highly anticipated print collection gathers articles published in the much-loved International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out.
PoC||GTFO follows in the tradition of Phrack and Uninformed by publishing on the
subjects of offensive security research, reverse engineering, and file format
internals. Until now, the journal has only been available online or printed and
distributed for free at hacker conferences worldwide.
Consistent with the journal's quirky, biblical style, this book comes with all
the trimmings: a leatherette cover, ribbon bookmark, bible paper, and gilt-edged
pages. The book features more than 80 technical essays from numerous famous
hackers, authors of classics like "Reliable Code Execution on a Tamagotchi,"
"ELFs are Dorky, Elves are Cool," "Burning a Phone," "Forget Not the Humble
Timing Attack," and "A Sermon on Hacker Privilege." Twenty-four full-color pages
by Ange Albertini illustrate many of the clever tricks described in the text.
The International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out is a
celebrated magazine of reverse engineering, retro-computing, and systems
internals. This second collected volume holds all of the articles from releases
nine to thirteen.
Learn how to patch the firmware of a handheld amateur radio, then emulate that
radio's proprietary audio code under Linux. How to slow the Windows kernel when
exploiting a race condition and how to make a PDF file that is also an Android
app, an audio file, or a Gameboy speedrun. How to hack a Wacom pen table with
voltage glitching, then hack it again by pure software to read RDID tags from
its surface. How to disassemble every last byte of an Atari game and how to
bypass every classic form of copy protection on Apple ][.
But above all else, beyond the nifty tricks and silly songs, this book exists to
remind you what a clever engineer can build from a box of parts with a bit of
free time. Not to show you what others have done, but to show you how they did
it so that you can do the same.
The International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out is a celebrated collection of short essays on computer security, reverse engineering, and retrocomputing topics by many of the world's most famous hackers. This third volume contains all articles from releases 14 to 18 in the form of an actual, bound bible.
Topics include how to dump the ROM from one of the most secure Sega Genesis games ever created; how to create a PDF that is also a Git repository; how to extract the Game Boy Advance BIOS ROM; how to sniff Bluetooth Low Energy communications with the BCC Micro:Bit; how to conceal ZIP Files in NES Cartridges; how to remotely exploit a TetriNET Server; and more.
The journal exists to remind us of what a clever engineer can build from a box of parts and a bit of free time. Not to showcase what others have done, but to explain how they did it so that readers can do these and other clever things themselves.
