Acknowledgments

Jason Andress

Thanks to my family for persevering through another book project and for putting up with me. Additionally, thanks to Ryan for being a great coauthor and to Russ for handling the tech editing. Last, but certainly not least, thanks to Matt for keeping everything on the rails at Syngress. You work way too hard and deserve an extra half-ration of gruel.

I would like to thank Jason, Russ, Audrey, Matt, and the folks at Syngress for all of their contributions and assistance through this process. Thanks to Heather for her support; without your aid, I’m not sure this book would have ever happened. Thanks to Ed, Kevin, HD, JCran, Egypt, Wade, Don, CG, JJ, Brian, and the other mentors that have helped me along my security career; all of your generosity and patience have helped me grow to a point where I can share with others. Thanks to the security community for being a generally awesome group of people who are willing to share knowledge and skills. To L0pht, Offsec, Corelan, and other security researchers of today, thank you for the knowledge sharing and explanations that are always pushing folks to learn more; thanks for bringing your knowledge to the rest of the community so that we can all learn.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank my family. Thank you all for your support, guidance, cheering, and, oh yeah, making sure I made it this far without being eaten by wolves.
