About Me

Hi there,

I’m James Smith or as my online moniker goes “Smittix”. The nick isn’t anything special just a mixture of my surname and Unix. Boring, I know.

By day I’m the Head of Offensive security for an award winning cyber security firm. There I head up all things Offensive Security and as an ethical hacker myself I also get to break things from time to time.

I’m also a massive Linux fanboy with specific interest in the Fedora project, I’m also one of their UK ambassador’s and have been for over a decade. I’ve been using Fedora since before it’s inception having started out on one of RedHat’s earlier releases (I think it was Red Hat Linux 6).

I got into computer security as a kid after seeing movies such as Wargames and Sneakers the whole concept fascinated me.

You will see that the blog has been neglected for a while due to me writing for the company I work for however I hope to revive smittix.net this year.

I hope some of these posts help some of you out there.

Enjoy

Smittix
