We are pleased to announce the official tmp.0ut Volume 4 Call For Papers! This
edition is set to be released on the second half of January 2025.

We are looking for original research in the following areas of interest:

  ~ Novel infection/persistence techniques
  ~ Anti-Debug/Anti-RE
  ~ Older techniques and their modern equivalents or mitigations
  ~ ELF internals and/or errata
  ~ Exotic ELF implementations and experiments
  ~ Malware RE with a focus on uncovering techniques and vulns exploited
  ~ Bugs related to ELFs (parsers, kernel, etc.)
  ~ Ideas and techniques for improving security related to ELF files
  ~ Explorations of newer Linux features that can improve or hinder security
  ~ Implementation of techniques from previous volumes (eg. SHELF Loading)
  ~ Exploit Write Ups and POCs
  ~ Anything else related to ELF, *nix security, or hacker culture that you
    think would fit the general vibe of the zine. See previous volumes: 1, 2 and 3

For Volume 4, we seek beginner-level content on the ELF file format, reverse engineering,
and *nix anything. Our goal is to help newcomers understand previous material and foster an
environment of sharing and learning, free of elitism.

Guidelines for Submissions:

  ~ Email your paper to stdin@tmpout.sh.
  ~ Be sure to include [CFP 4] in your email subject.
  ~ Submit text files only, wrapped to 78 columns.
  ~ We will not accept any executable binaries for submissions.
  ~ Please submit your paper by no later than December 15th 2024.

If you have any questions regarding submissions, contact us through X (@tmpout),
Discord, Mastodon, or via the email address mentioned above. All papers submitted
will be reviewed by our team and you will be notified if your paper was accepted
by the first half of January 2025.

Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, and contributed to our zine!
