Media Reviews
Most recognize Thor as the Norse god of thunder with massive powers of destruction. Few realize that he was also the god of restoration. Likewise, his namesake, Timothy Thor Mullen, has spent his entire adult life both destroying and restoring Microsoft-based security systems. Thor's Microsoft Security Bible conveys the wisdom and expertise of the industry legend that has defined the bleeding edge of Microsoft security for over twenty years. I highly recommend this book. -Johnny Long, Hacker at Large Author of the best-selling Google Hacking series
