It has a wide circulation that includes both hackers and infosec professionals. For me, this represents perhaps the most important lifetime achievement in the hacker scene. I still remember reading all past issues of Phrack as a teenager, starting from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phrack.org\/issues\/1\/1.html\">#1<\/a> released in <strong>1985<\/strong>&#8230; As a matter of fact, you should read them all yourself.
