About the Author

Cameron Buchanan is a penetration tester by trade and a writer in his spare time. He has performed penetration tests around the world for a variety of clients across many industries. Previously, he was a member of the RAF. He enjoys doing stupid things, such as trying to make things fly, getting electrocuted, and dunking himself in freezing cold water in his spare time. He is married and lives in London.

I'd like to thank Jay, Gleave, Andy, Tom, and Troy for answering my stupid questions. I'd also like to thank Tim, Seb, Dean, Alistair, and Duncan for putting up with my grumpiness while I was writing the book and providing useful (though somewhat questionable) suggestions throughout the process. I'd also like to thank my wife, Miranda, for making me do this and editing out all my spelling and grammar mistakes.
