"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, "This book presents a fascinating collections of practical and immediately implementable Microsoft security techniques, processes, and methodologies uniquely illustrated through real-world process examples. The author enriches the reader with detailed technical information on security processes for all major Microsoft applications in simple readable form.Top security professionals as well as many younger aspirants in the security sector should find this book extremely informative and useful."-- Security Management, December 2012, page 83 "I was looking for the standard security bible (change this setting or that setting), and I did ultimately get that. Thor's chosen delivery method does walk through the changing of settings, but does it in such a subtle way as to not make the content boring. This is a book that when you begin, you think 'huh?' But once you complete it, you think 'Ah ha!' Generally, security bibles can be dull, but given the author's humor, vast knowledge of securing Windows Server 2008, and his ability to explain the topics to even a novice, makes this work shine. Anyone working in a Windows Server environment is doing themselves a disservice by not reading this book. The included video content was refreshing, as the author continues his dialogue with you. He walks through setting up Chapter 1 and Chapter 7 on the fly, so any mistakes you will see. It was nice to hear his voice, since, if you're like me, it makes it easier when reading. TMSB is a great book, and for all you Windows 2008 Server Administrators out there, I'd run, not walk, to get this book!"-- EthicalHacker.net "This book is aimed at technical, security and non-security professionals alike, used to bolster their security knowledge and to allow them to harden services that are often reliant on general OS hardening and firewalls. The book offers detailed descriptions on how to provide secure infrastructure services, such as SQL, as a least- privileged account, and therefore offers system engineers a guide to bolstering their system's security posture as much as is possible." --Best Systems Administration Book in InfoSecReviews Book Awards, "Mullen presents realistic business scenarios with tips on products, tools, and methods to create an autonomous web traffic monitor, analyze and block traffic based on geolocation, set up a secure external web proxy, cover remote desktop protocol security, and create and maintain service users."-- Reference and Research Book News, August 2013 "This book presents a fascinating collections of practical and immediately implementable Microsoft security techniques, processes, and methodologies uniquely illustrated through real-world process examples.
