I was responsible for putting together the initial list of tools and chapters for this book and also convinced the other authors (against their better judgment) to contribute their expertise and precious time to make this book happen. I wrote Chapter 2, and Chapter 7, and contributed the section on airpwn (a tool I am the author of) to Chapter 8. Finally, along with Steve Manzuik, I provided a technical review of the chapters in this book.
