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.[1][2][3][4][5]
