The 2026 print edition of Hacker's quarterly issue has already reached its third. In this new magazine, we've compiled the best materials from recent months, with routers and networks being one of the main topics: our authors extract root shells from password-less routers, investigate a provider with a poorly isolated network, and build a configuration for simultaneous operation with multiple networks.
For those who missed it, a reminder: this year, Hacker returned to a regular print format. Four times a year, we publish a full-fledged, 240-page glossy magazine featuring the best articles from the past months: practical guides, technical analyses, research, reverse engineering, vulnerability exploitation, hardware, development, and much more.
#3: Routers, LLM, and Web Penetration Testing
The third quarterly issue has just left the printer and is ready for shipping.
In this third issue, our authors not only explore networks and routers, but also run code inside a TrueType font virtual machine, master Burp Suite, and select tools for pentesting large language models.
As usual, we've collected the best practical guides, technical analyses, and experiments under one cover.
Among the articles:
The second quarterly issue is another installment in the limited-edition Hacker series for 2026. This issue arrives in a branded box that protects it during travel (and for some reason, you don't want to throw it away after unpacking it). Inside, you'll find a bonus—a separate issue dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the cyberbattle Standoff.
Among the articles:
It was with this issue in 2026 that the new quarterly Hacker series began. Inside are over 20 practical guides, research, and technical analysis: from hashcracking and Nmap to the innards of PE files and the unusual design of Bjorn.
The print run is limited, but copies of the first issue are still available. If you're planning to collect the complete Hacker series for 2026, you can't do without it.
Among the articles:
If you don't want to collect the issues one by one, you can order a set of all four quarterly issues of Hacker for 2026 at once.
The first three magazines are ready and will be sent to you almost immediately. The fourth issue will appear towards the end of the year and will be sent separately when it's published.
