Thank you to everyone involved in making this second edition possible. Publishing a book is a team effort and I have been blessed to be surrounded by great teammates. The list below is woefully inadequate, so I apologize in advance and thank everyone who had a hand in making this book a reality. Special thanks to:
My rock, my lighthouse, my steel cables. Thank you for the encouragement, belief, support, and willingness to become a “single mother” again while I disappeared for hours and days to work on this second edition. As with so many things in my life, I am certain that without you, this book would not have been. More than anyone else, I owe this work to you. I love you.
I know that in many ways, this edition was harder for you than the first because you are now old enough to miss me when I am gone, but still too young to understand why I do it. Someday, when you are older, I hope you pick up this book and know that all that I do in my life is for you.
Thank you to my extended family for your love and support. An extra special thank you to my mother Joyce, who once again served as my unofficial editor and has probably read this book more times than anyone else. Your quick turnaround time and insights were invaluable.
It has been a real honor to have you contribute to the book. I know how busy you are between family, TrustedSec, the CON circuit, SET, and every other crazy project you run, but you always made time for this project and your insights have made this edition much better than I could have hoped for. Thank you my friend. #hugs. I would be remiss not to give some additional credit to Dave, not only did he contribute through the technical editing process but he also worked tirelessly to ensure the book was Kali compliant and (naturally) single-handedly owned Chapter 5 (SET).
What can I say to the last man who made me feel like an absolute idiot around a computer? Thanks for taking the time and supporting my work. You have become a great friend and I appreciate your help.
Thanks again for the opportunity! Thanks to the editing team, I appreciate all of the hard work and dedication you gave this project. A special thanks to Chris Katsaropoulos for all your efforts.
