Fresh cover by @vacci.ne for the Print on Demand and Digital releases of PHRACK!! #phrack72 #phrackat40

You do, I have learned so much from you! Please write to us!!!!

Cover for phrack 72, a graffiti logo for Phrack over a blue background with three images of DNA, cellular mitosis, and different skulls evolving. Big bold text at the bottom saying ISSUE 72 2025

Here is the cover I made for @phrack.org 72! This cover will be on copies ordered via print on demand.

The paper used for this collage was extremely hard to photograph or scan bc of the vivid florescent colors. Shout out @hermit.sh for helping with color correction! See yall in Vegas.

If you could ask a panel of hackers anything about Phrack, zines, and hacking (past/present/future), what would you ask?

I tried getting both linaro and linux-msm forks to build, and I think that there is a breaking change from the jimtcl upstream repo. Also an unmerged PR on the eud repo that linux-msm now depends on for --enable-eud. I messaged the person who got that change merged though so 🤞

Do I know anyone who has gotten this EUD tooling working in openocd?

I keep getting errors linking to the jimtcl submodule in the linux-msm fork, and one of the submodule urls in the Linaro fork is down. 🙃

One of the best feelings is eyeballing the possible structure and message types/bitfields of a custom protocol from a log file with a few packets in it, then later finding source (or decompilation) and the packet struct exactly matches.

Someone just told me that Widevine DRM acknowledges the existence of DeCENC in their API responses. Neat!

Presumably some of their CDMs ship mitigations now. I haven't looked.
