Acknowledgments

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 Wife

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.

My Girls

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.

My Family

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.

Dave Kennedy

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 (SET).

Jared DeMott

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.

To the Syngress Team

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.

Introduction

It is hard to believe that it has already been two years since the first edition of this book. Given the popularity and (mostly positive) feedback I received on the original manuscript, I admit I was anxious to get the second edition on the shelves. It is not that the material has changed drastically. The basics of hacking and penetration testing are largely still the basics. However, after completing the first edition, interacting with readers, and listening to countless suggestions for improvement from family, friends, and colleagues, I am confident that this edition will outshine the original in nearly every facet. Some old (out-of-date) material has been removed, some new material has been added, and the entire book received a proper polishing. As with most people in the security community, I have continued to learn, my teaching methods have continued to evolve, and my students have continued to push me to provide them with ever more material. Because of this, I have got some great new tools and additions that I am really excited to share with you this time around. I am grateful for all the feedback I received for the first edition and I have worked hard to make sure the second edition is even better.
