Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, I would like to thank the developers and supporters of Kali Linux. Together, they have produced one of the most significant tools for securing networks and data. I would like to thank the editors and reviewers at Packt Publishing for their support and seemingly unending patience during the writing of this book. I promise that the next one will go quicker!

I would also like to thank Brian Bourne and other members of the Toronto Area Security Klatch. They've given me an incredible opportunity to learn and share knowledge with the best-ever community of security geeks.

Throughout the writing of this book, my family has given me both incredible motivation and support. Thank you Sarah, Alex, and Annika.

And finally, a very special thank you to my mother and father—I can't remember when I first learned to read—with your encouragement, it was always just natural to have a book in my hands.

Thank you.
