Lately I've been asked to take a look at the latest (by then ;-) Hagin9 issue and to share my thoughts on a blog. Well, I thought why not — after all it may save you guys some cash or maybe get you running to the nearest newsstand. Literally running, because it took me some time to get into this. But hey, you still have like four days to the end of the month...

OK. Before we start, the important thing is that you shouldn't treat all this as me telling you what's worth reading and what's not — I think it really depends on what you are into. Instead try to think of it as of a short and unbiased *cough* *cough* glance between the covers. Honestly, I have no idea if it'll work for you or not. So, if you care, just give me a shout.

And, as a final note before we get to the meat — unfortunately, this short review concerns the Polish edition of the magazine, so it's best if you actually read Polish.

Well, it wasn't supposed to be a very regular series, but I just recently flicked through another issue of hakin9, so I thought I might share my impressions with you as well again. Shorter this time as I have a really tight schedule today. So, let's get to this already.

For all of you guys around here in Poland, another opportunity to deepen your acquaintance with information security just appeared. The first issue of Xploit have just hit the shelves.

What’s in it?

• A remote DoS on Vista,
• A tale of a deadly Android,
• A short story of hacking PSP,
• Everything you ever wanted to know about hosting, but were afraid to ask,
• Challenges of risk analysis,
• Securing SQL Server 2005,
• Polish law and hacking,
• TPM in GNU/Linux,
• and much, much more.

I had a pleasure to share some thoughts on risk analysis in this issue, so be it only for that I really encourage you to visit your newsagent and give this fine new magazine a try.
