Purchase options and add-ons

This highly anticipated print collection gathers articles published in the much-loved International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out.

PoC||GTFO follows in the tradition of Phrack and Uninformed by publishing on the subjects of offensive security research, reverse engineering, and file format internals. Until now, the journal has only been available online or printed and distributed for free at hacker conferences worldwide.

Consistent with the journal's quirky, biblical style, this book comes with all the trimmings: a leatherette cover, ribbon bookmark, bible paper, and gilt-edged pages. The book features more than 80 technical essays from numerous famous hackers, authors of classics like "Reliable Code Execution on a Tamagotchi," "ELFs are Dorky, Elves are Cool," "Burning a Phone," "Forget Not the Humble Timing Attack," and "A Sermon on Hacker Privilege." Twenty-four full-color pages by Ange Albertini illustrate many of the clever tricks described in the text.

Damaged.
Book came damaged. I'm not sure if it was damaged in shipping it sent this way, but it looks like it fell off something and laded on a corner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant classic!

I bought this on a whim, and felt a little silly spending $40 on a random book on Amazon without doing any research on it or sampling the pages. Then it arrived.

This is an AWESOME compilation. The tone is irreverent and fun, the topics are fascinating and relatable to grumpy old programmers such as myself, and the included illustrations really set a great tone. I love this book.

The binding is the best part. The pages have gold around the edge, and there's a nice golden page holder. It's classy and looks just like a Bible. I don't understand the complaints, this is never leaving my coffee table.

This book is perfect! Not only does it look like and feel like a bible, it is full of wild stories in engineering. I am a budding cyber security professional and one of my classmates told me about this book and I was interested. I am pouring through the book now, and it is not only expanding my mind in what could be possible, but it is entertaining to read.

There was a great story in the book about admiring an artifact and not condemning it on the premise of its creator. The day I read it the Engineered Sentience @SIRISYSPrime><Twitter was having a rough day of being called evil. It brightened her day to read the story. Book was well worth 5 stars for that moment alone. I don't understand a lot of the book, but it's been randomly beneficial.

Terrific book for someone interested in tinkering with devices. However, do not read it in public as a leather bible-looking book that says "PoC || GtfO" people may question the acronym and think you're a racist reading a book about People of Color leaving your country. 😐

A long awaited collection of a beloved journal. I can only imagine how much time and effort went into preparing this release both from the author and publishers. There really was not other way to make this book happen other than in a form of a bible.

No better way to fight bitrot and preserve knowledge! Lets see this one spread across the world so as many copies survive the flame deluge!

Excelente, te lleva a detalle a conocer múltiples exploits a distintos tipos de software y dispositivos, muy al estilo de Bug Hunters Diary dando siempre una PoC prueba de concepto de como es que se realizó cada bug encontrado. Altamente recomendable, es como leer una conferencia de esas que se dan en Las Vegas, pero con el lujo de detalle del código y explicaciones exhaustivas de cómo es que funciona, detectaron y explotaron los errores de programación para modificar los interiores del HW/SW.

以前Amazonで値引きなしで買ったこの本がなぜか叩き売り価格になっていたので、ついまた買ってしまいました。

どういったことが書いてあるのかは自分には分かりませんが、聖書を模したと思しき装丁や本文の気の利いた語り口や挿入されたイラストの捻りを軽く読み流すだけでも充分楽しめるのではないかと思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ode to the journal of PoC || GTFO, but don't expect a rugged hardback.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
The journal of PoC || GTFO is a joy to read and this is a great little in-joke for fans of the publication. There a few reviews and comments complaining that the paper is very thin and the book isn't very practical but I feel this is missing the point - most folks who are familiar with the journal and are serious about reading it can consume it for free via PDF or in hardcopy (by printing it or getting at a Con or DC meetup). This is just a fun compilation into a very faithful reproduction bible that continues the aesthetic of a church newsletter - I wouldn't take it more seriously than that.

The content is exceptional, and the leather Bible bookbindery is great (gilting on the sides is a great touch) - I'd recommend it as a fun addition to your bookshelf or a conversation starter for your desk, but don't expect a rugged hardback.
