The International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out or PoC||GTFO for short is a journal that focusses on sharing technical knowledge between developers and everybody else interested. One of the requirements of getting posted in the journal is that the author has to provide a proof of concept for the topic/idea they want to write about. This requirement is very good to have because it forces people to stop talking about ideas, but instead prove that the idea they have works. I found it to be a very interesting journal containing a lot of sometimes mind bending concepts.

PoC||GTFO is very unique in the way it spreads the proof of concepts with the journal. It does it by PDF. What is so special about that? Well, the journal PDF also contains all the concepts. How? Because it's a polyglot. A file that can be parsed/interpreted differently by different applications. Ange albertini is one of the co-authors of PoC||GTFO and he is a true master of file formats. For more info on polyglots see his presentation called Funky File Formats from 31c3
