Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has a subscription to Hakin9 Magazine. I've downloaded a free pdf from their site and it looks good so far. I'm thinking about getting a subscription to the printed version, cause I'm not a fan of reading pdf's. Can anyone tell me if its worth the subscription money? It's 79.00 USD for 24 months. Doesn't seem that expensive to me. Any thoughts?

I'm a recent subscriber. My employer paid for my subscription so I'm not sure what price they paid.

You normal get a cd with some material on, the past 2 months they were wireless security I believe. The magazine content is mixed and varied. Some stuff more technical while other not so.

Overall I think it's worth having.

Good to have. Just make sure you get the old versions in pdf. They give it for free. Delivery took awhile to get into my mailbox. Good to have and very informative.

I've been a subscriber for 2 years, and I can widely recommend it, it's worth every penny. Though as BigPrince says, you'll find errors in the code and other typos, the level of of the articles compensate it.

so, if you subscribe you get access to the complete archive of issues in pdf format?

No, at least not when subscribing to the German issues (which covers different articles as the English issues). I think the same applies for the English version.

You can get older versions from their website or within their newsletters.

If you are only interested in particular articles you can always try to see if the author has a website with the article(s) available. Writing an e-mail to the author should work as well in most cases.

hello hjazz and welcome to EH.net!

i guess a mail with some personal info and a question how to subscribe will be sufficient.
