This month we publish Hakin9 OPEN for the first time. Please have a look at this new-born issue which we want to be a free of charge periodical supporting Hakin9, Hakin9 Extra, Hakin9 OnDemand and Hakin9 Exploiting Software. The idea of creating this additional issue is to present how wide is the scope of practical knowledge from IT security field covered in Hakin9 Issues. We want to show the advantages of reading them to those who are not our regular readers yet. Inside this issue you will find the best articles on leading topics included in the forthcoming Hakin9 Magazines.
