Acknowledgments

I wish to thank all the teachers in my 20-year computer security career, especially the other humbling MVP security contributors, friend Mark Minasi, the public security mailing lists, and friends in the industry. Twenty years ago I thought I knew everything; now I know I only know what fits on the end of a fingernail.

I wish to thank the various people at Microsoft who helped get me information for my chapters, including Sarah Wahlert, Darren Canavor, Steve Hiskey, Eran Yariv, Eric Fitzgerald, Michael Kleef, and Peter Brundrett. I would also like to thank my current and former coworkers at Amazon, as well as my friends Susan Bradley and Alun Jones, who tirelessly reviewed everything we threw at them. Finally, I must not forget Jeremy Moskowitz, Jimmy Anderson, Mike Smith-Lonergan, and Mark Burnett, who provided valuable feedback on their respective areas of expertise.
