I... cannot see any download link. Or any other kinds of links to #67.

  Seems the submission to HN should be titled "announced" rather than "released".

    The website earlier said "phrack will be at ruxcon", which is this weekend (starts the 20th). I imagine it will be released then.

      They posted a couple days ago saying #67 would be released today. I'm not sure what the deal is; seems like they're having trouble with their website as what would normally be the front page news is a non-functional TOC for #67. Based on the title, it could also be them yanking people's chains...who knows.

Exploiting Memory Corruptions in Fortran Programs Under Unix/VMS that is some serious bleeding edge shit right there

  I think you have the wrong idea of what Phrack is about. It's about exploring technologies that are old, new, whatever. If you want cutting edge, go read full-disclosure where you can read up on the latest XSS bugs being found.

    XSS is hardly cutting edge.

  Fortran is very widely used. As is Unix. I don't see anything wrong with having that article in there. Also, if you are hacking something/someone then knowing about all the obscure bits of technology they have is vitally important.

  Maybe you wanted to contribute something instead of mocking other people's shit, then?
  - mquander 16y ago
    Same to you, buddy. At least the grandparent contributed a joke.

      I'd be mocking if I said: "that is some serious bleeding edge comment right there". I applaud your sense of humour, though.
      - M1573RMU74710N 16y ago
        Actually it doesn't have to involve imitation to be mocking. True, that is one sense (like in "mocking bird")...but it can also be just general derision or taunting, like in " The jelly donut sat there, mocking me." /language nerd

    Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I spent my afternoon working at a local food pantry.
