Download all Phrack Magazine Issues

download-phrack-issues.sh

#!/bin/sh

for i in {1..67}
do
        FILE="phrack${i}.tar.gz"
	wget http://phrack.org/archives/tgz/${FILE}
	tar xvzf ${FILE}
	rm ${FILE}
done

No need to remember issue numbers at all:

wget -r -nH --no-parent --reject="index.html*" -e robots=off http://www.phrack.org/archives/tgz/

I slightly modified @shekkbuilder script to concatenate the issues into single txt files and then convert those into PDF files. Nice if you have something like a reader tablet and you want to read them on it like what I am doing.
(P.S I am using libreoffice since I already had it installed but I believe there are countless other utilities for conversion out there)

#!/bin/bash
LATEST=$(lynx --source  http://phrack.org/archives/tgz/|grep -oP '(?<=phrack)[0-9]{2}'|sort -n|tail -1)  
for (( i=1; i<=LATEST; i++ ))  
do  
        FILE="phrack${i}.tar.gz"  
        wget http://phrack.org/archives/tgz/${FILE}  
        if [ ! -d phrack${i} ]; then  
                mkdir -p phrack${i};  
        fi  
        tar xvzf ${FILE} -C ./phrack${i}/  
        rm ${FILE}  
done

for (( i=1; i<=LATEST; i++ ))
do
        cat ./phrack${i}/*.txt >> ./phrack${i}/phrack${i}.txt
        libreoffice --convert-to "pdf" ./phrack${i}/phrack${i}.txt
done
