Kim Crawley
Kim Crawley is a Canadian author of books on
IT security specifically and on
hacker and
computer literacy in general. Of
Maltese descent, the first computer she set her eyes upon was her
half-brother's
Commodore 64 in 1988, but inasmuch as he refused to let her play with it her first hand-on-experience with computers was with her
novelist father's
Windows 3.1 OEM PC, which he had purchased retail. A wide-ranging
consultant,
free-lancer and self-described generalist, she has written and consulted for
tech companies such as
AT&T,
BlackBerry,
NGINX,
Synack, and
Hack The Box, and passed the
Certified Information Systems Security Professional exam on her first attempt ''whilst'' writing a book. She has published with
O'Reilly Media,
Packt Publishing,
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., etc., and lives in Toronto, Canada with her
pop culture collection and assiduously maintains a
punk/
goth aesthetic. She is an
autistic with
ADHD.
