Along with Pentest Magazine, eForensics Magazine, Software Developer's Journal, Hadoop Magazine and Java Magazine, Hakin9 Abwehrweise is a magazine from Poland-based publishing house Software-Wydawnictwo Sp. Z oo. The first edition appeared in 2005 and has been published regularly since September 2006 . It was often available in train station bookstores in Germany and could be subscribed to in print and as a PDF version. From May 2010 through December 2011 it was only available as a free online edition. The magazine has been available by subscription since 2012.

The magazine is published in Polish, Czech, English, Italian, French and Spanish.

The magazine deals with topics of IT security such as B. Viruses , Trojans , secure programming, network technology and cryptanalysis and divided (since July 2008) the articles into the three main categories of attack , defense and tools . In addition, the articles are assigned a level of difficulty ( beginner , advanced , expert ). Socially relevant aspects of information technology such as freedom of information , data protection , video surveillance and privacy are also dealt with at irregular intervals . Short news, consumer tests, reviews , interviews and a feature section appear as regular columns .

Each print edition was accompanied by a CD with commercial and free teaching and information programs.

In August 2012, hakin9 published an English-language e-book about the nmap network scanner , in which a team of authors managed to accommodate a fake article. The title of the article is Nmap: The Internet Considered Harmful - DARPA Inference Cheking Kludge Scanning and the authors are the security researchers Jon Oberheide, Nico Waisman, Matthieu Suiche, Chris Valasek, Yarochkin Fyodor, the Grugq, Jonathan Brossard and Mark Dowd. Most of the content is nonsense in the style that the SCIgen tool generates automatically. The hakin9 editorial team apologized to their readers and described the incident as an unintentional mistake (“unintentional mistake on our part”).
