Who This Book Is For
Aspiring security and penetration testers, security consultants, security and penetration testers, IT managers, andsecurity researchers.
Robert Svensson has had pretty much every IT job one can imagine: he’s been yelled at over the phone taking support calls, he’s done IT security incident management for multi-nationals, he’s worked with startups, he’s programmed and so on… but over the last ten years or so IT security has been his sole focus. In his case, that means he’s done countless penetration tests, written numerous reports and somehow managed to get rehired to do it all over again. And yeah, he fell in love with computers the second he unwrapped the commodore 64 he got for Christmas about a million years ago—it all started there. One of Robert’s goals in writing this book is to put out the book he wish he had read when he first started doing penetration tests—a book that also clearly explains why security testing is important, not just how it’s done. However, the number one reason why he’s writing this book is simple: passion. He loves security and learning as much about it as he possibly can. And havingworked as a teacher, he knows no better way to learn than to teach.
