Carrie Smith

defence in depth

Welcome to my website! My name is Carrie Smith, and I'm a MSc Information Technology student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

I recently graduated from King's College London with a BSc Hons in Computer Science! I also just finished up a lovely IT/cybersecurity internship at Nippon Life Benefits in New York. Here is my CV if you are interested.

My next article, exploring the etymology of the word 'hacker' and defining four main motivators for those who call themselves hackers, will be published sometime in the next week. Until then, here are some things you can check out:

• my most recent post, "What Tabs do I Have Open?"
• my blog posts
• my now page
• previous life updates from me
• my art!

A few things I'm interested in right now (in no particular order):

• Network security. Take a look at my undergraduate dissertation on this topic here!
• Woodcarving, particularly carving wooden stamps
• The Internet, the history of the Internet, evolution from Web 1.0 -> Web 2.0, web vulnerabilities, old viruses, worms, and useless websites
• Anything published in 2600 Magazine, written by Kevin Mitnick, or presented at HOPE XV.
