Phrack is an e-zine written by and for hackers, first published November 17, 1985.[1] It had a wide circulation which included both hackers and computer security professionals.[2]

Originally covering subjects related to phreaking, anarchy and cracking,[1] its articles also cover a wide range of topics including computer and physical security, hacking, cryptography, counter culture and international news.

Phrack has been described as having "had its finger on the pulse of hacker culture",[3] and being "hugely influential in the early days of hacker culture".[4]
