Paulino Caldern Pale (@calderpwn) is a very passionate software developer and penetration tester from a Caribbean island in Mxico called Cozumel. He learned to write code and administer IT infrastructures early in his lifeskills that came handy when he joined the information security industry. Today, he loves learning new technologies, penetration testing, conducting data-gathering experiments, developing software, and contributing to the open source community. He maintains a blog of his public work at http://calderonpale.com.
In the summer of 2011, he joined Googles Summer of Code program to work on the Nmap project as an NSE (Nmap Scripting Engine) developer. He focused on improving the web scanning capabilities of Nmap and has produced over 20 scripts for gathering information, and detecting and exploiting security vulnerabilities since then.
He is the cofounder of Websec, an information security company focused on web security operation in Mxico (http://websec.mx) and Canada (http://websec.ca), where they help companies in different industries secure their IT infrastructures.
I would like to dedicate this book to a lot of people. Firstly, I would like to especially thank Fyodor for giving me the opportunity of joining the Nmap project during the Google Summer of Code. This book wouldnt have existed if you had not taken a chance with me that summer. My parents Edith and Paulino who have been incredibly supportive my whole life, my brothers Omar and Yael who have made this a real fun ride, and my girlfriend Martha Moguel and her family, who were really supportive and understanding with the lack of dates and Sunday meals while I worked on this book.
I would like to thank the Nmap team and contributors, especially to all the people who Ive learned some much fromPatrik Karlsson, David Fifield, Ron Bowes, Daniel Miller, Henri Doreau, Patrick Donelly, Brendan Coles, Luis Martin, Toni Ruotto, Tom Sellers and Djalal Harouni.
I would also like to thanks all my good friends and business partners, Roberto Salgado and Pedro Joaqun for all the extra work they had to do to cover for me, and my friends in info-secCarlos Ayala, Alejandro Hernndez, Luis Guillermo Castaeda, Edgar Pimienta, Giovanni Cruz, Diego Bauche, Christian Navarrete, Eduardo Vela, Lenin Alevsk, Christian Yerena, Humberto Ochoa, Marcos Schejtman, Angel Morelos, Eduardo Ruiz, Ruben Ventura, Alejandro Hernndez Flores (alt3kx), Luis Alberto Cortes, Oscar Lopez, Vctor Hugo Ramos Alvarez , Antonio Toriz, Francisco Len, Armin Garca, Roberto Martinez, Hecky, Victor Gomez, Luis Solis, Hector Lopez, Matias Katz, Jaime Restrepo, Carlos Lozano, David Murillo, Uriel Mrquez, Marc Ruef, David Moreno, Leonardo Piger, Alvaro Andrade, Alfonso Deluque, and Lorenzo Martnez. I thank all my friends in Cozumel who I may not have seen as much as I would have liked, lately, but who are always in my heart.
And finally, I would like to thank Packt Publishing and their staff for all the support and help provided when publishing this book.

He holds many security industry certifications, such as CISSP, GCIH, GCFA, and GPEN, among others. He currently works as a Consulting Engineer at Arbor Networks for Latin America.
David Shaw has extensive experience in many aspects of information security. Beginning his career as a Network Security Analyst, he monitored perimeter firewalls and intrusion detection systems in order to identify and neutralize threats in real time. After working in the trenches of perimeter analysis, he joined an External Threat Assessment Team as a Security Researcher, working closely with large financial institutions to mitigate external risk and combat phishing attacks. He has particular interests in exploit development and unconventional attack vectors, and was a speaker at ToorCon 12 in San Diego, CA. He is currently the Director of Penetration Testing Technology at Redspin, specializing in external and application security assessments, and managing a team of highly-skilled engineers.
I would like to thank my wonderful team at Redspin for allowing me the opportunity to conduct research and hone my skills, and without whom I would never be where I am today.
