aol.pmTHE HISTORICAL HACKING CATALOG

Independent research index / First release

Six collections. Different histories.

939 cataloged records

2600

813 bibliographic entries from the publisher-hosted title index for volumes 1–10 (1984–1993), plus 126 issue links from the incomplete cover gallery. One title containing an apparent phone number was omitted. The index includes articles, news and letters; authors and full article bodies were not checked. The gallery includes an Autumn 2026 sidebar item but has many historical gaps. No paid material accessed.

1463 cataloged records

DEF CON

1,430 unique scheduled talk/panel records from DEF CON 33–34: 222 main-track talks and 1,208 creator talks/panels. Also 33 annual event-index links (DC1–33). The separate official guide at info.defcon.org permits crawling; the defcon.org archive host disallows OpenAI agents and was not crawled further. Earlier talks, satellite events, recordings, slides and canceled/withheld status remain gaps. A schedule entry is not proof of delivery.

1026 cataloged records

Phrack

Article metadata from all 72 issue contents tables currently exposed by the official site. This measures the selected tables, not every revision, special edition, or surviving copy. Authors and dates follow the publisher’s metadata; contents entries are not necessarily standalone technical papers.

47 cataloged records

Phone Losers of America

46 regular issue links plus unauthorized issue 099, as enumerated by the publisher. Dates and authors remain unknown unless separately verified. Issue 007 points to a replacement directory; no personal telephone data is imported. Historical satire is not reliable technical guidance.
