What a classic! Phrack stopped publishing some time ago but the world of security ploughs on, who can recommend similar modern resources to Phrack?

Here's a few I'm aware of:

While Phrack has stopped, there is the Paper Feed (no generic link, just have to link to the latest in the feed) http://phrack.org/papers/escaping_from_freebsd_bhyve.html

I think one big change these days is just that more people will self-publish their writeups and research. There are also a lot more security conferences that people present at some with a more narrow focus than the well known conferences too leading to more specialty content.

I do a weekly podcast[0] talking just about the latest exploits and strategies/research from the last week and pulling content for that is basically just following a ton of RSS feeds. There is a lot more getting written these days compared with the years when Phrack was regularly released. Unfortunately its also more spread out and harder to find.

Paged Out is great, Rafale appears to be offline though (and French only).
