[edit] Hakin9 Marketing

The cost of Hakin9 publication is high versus some of the other linux and computer magazines in the past. Some feel the marketing campaigns have been obtrusive to blogs, newsletters, and other online media outlets.

[edit] History of Publication

Hakin9's first edition was released in 2005, then after a few-month-long break the real editing process started in September 2006.

[edit] Controversy

Publishing house Software Wydawnictwo is known for not paying the money to their authors on time (a well known fact among Hakin9, Linux+ and the other titles contributors, but well hidden from the public).

Software Media LLC also released three extra issues of hakin9 newbies edition. It was called hakin9 starter kit and published in January, March and May 2007.

Pre-2005 release articles in English can be found available online. These articles were English articles submitted to the magazine before English versions of the magazine were available.^[2]
