It was a magical moment for me when I got my first computer from my uncle. It was a big black & white Window’s 95 OS where I played my very first computer game, Dave. The moment I touched the keyboard, an urge to learn more about computers began and has not ceased ever since.
Hence I decided to pursue Information Technology as a specialization for my graduation. It provided me with a strong and comprehensive background in computers. During my undergraduate studies, I learned subjects like C, C++, Java and DBMS as a part of the curriculum and thus, became proficient in programming languages to such a level that I started creating my own games in C++. During this learning process, I realized the importance of design and User Interface and so, I started taking more interest in graphics. I designed various visiting cards, web templates using Photoshop. I extended these acquired skills while designing all the marketing materials as well as leading the designing team for an inter-college technical symposium.
When introduced to the field of Computer Networks and Information Security via academics and workshops, I learned about different exploit attacks as well as their precautionary methods. I applied this knowledge to develop the website for a college event. This website allowed the participants as well as visitors to obtain details regarding various event activities as well as register themselves. I also filtered blind SQL Injections that helped avoid dummy registrations using cross site scripting.
Moreover, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to work on an International Project during our academic tenure. It was a collaborative initiative between my college and US based company called Ativio. We developed a tourism portal for Indi...

I can still remember the excitement that I felt the first time I placed my hands on a keyboard. As Neil Postman states, "What is peculiar about such
I have had two part-time jobs involving computer related work, in which I have been able to bring art influences into. When working for Retail Futures, an e-commerce company based in Malvern, I designed their corporate image, and websites for clients such as Coalport and Parcel Force. More recently I have taken another job with a more technical slant, for another e-commerce firm, eplexus. I still do design work, in which I have designed websites and images for "Highwaycode.com", and Anglo Digital a successful venture capitalist firm. Alongside my practical experience, I am also studying Computing at my current college, which aids me to learn the fundamentals of computer usage and programming, an area that I am interested in.
I want to be a professional programmer. Although my major study was mainly focused on engineering and mathematics, I had developed a solid interdisciplinary background in the college. When I was solving a problem, I always tried to come up my solutions from different angles. Through coursework, club activity and research, I began realizing the significance of computer science. My broad interests gradually concentrated on algorithm design and robotics. I believe I can achieve the master degree and acquire professional programming skill by my intelligence and diligence.
The most important class of my high school career has been “Spark! Technology Solutions,” a selective, district-wide program run by the Parkway School District in which a small group of students isare immersed in a professional environment, solving real world problems and working on client-defined projects and tasks for real businesses. In this class I have spent the last two years doing independent study in numerous areas of technology, including graphic
Numerous web applications are vulnerable to attack because of unsecure code. Common attacks are SQL injection and XSS. The aim of this project is to identify vulnerabilities in source code, then attack the vulnerabilities, and finally, fix the errors to make the code secure. The input fields in the register and login pages of a basic web application will be used to demonstrate the attacks used. The attacks used in the report are SQL injection and XSS. SQL injection will be fixed using PHP Data Objects (PDO) prepared statements and the XSS vulnerabilities will be fixed using htlmentities.
Ever since I was little I was very intrigued with computers, it was always a mystery for me to think such a tiny box can do all these processes and then show on a screen. When I was about 10 years old my interest sparked greatly; I wanted to learn more about computers and how they work so, I went on YouTube and looked up how to build a computer. The video was very bad but I was glued to it. As the time past I learned more and more about computers and I started to love it. By the time I reached high school I knew how to build a computer but never had any real experience building one. luckily my school gave us a chance to take a computer class so i could have some hands on experience. Freshman year I couldn't take one but sophomore year I could.
...ram.I am aware of the kind of dedication and resilience I will have to show over the years. I feel that I am adequately prepared for that, both in having technical qualifications and the right mind-set. My interest in the field of Computer Science and my eagerness to pursue Masters in the field strengthened when I came across the University of xxxx website for Computer Science. I intend to participate in the ongoing research in the campus.

Everyday tech users are increasingly engaged with web and mobile applications. These programs have many uses and can be very helpful in progressive usage. However, these applications also serve as the most accessible point of entry for malicious attackers to wreak havoc. The continual growth and usage of web-applications makes the infrastructure one that is susceptible to attack due to lack of thorough security implementation. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a community-based non-profit organization that concentrates on increasing the safety in the realm of web applications. It was started in 2001 and ever since then its primary goal has been to create a high level of transparency in the web applications and software in order to allow society to make informed decisions. They have a very open and collaborative mentality when it comes to the sharing of knowledge to include and empower the masses. Each year OWASP publishes a list of most common web application vulnerabilities. The top three have remained relatively dominant over the past few years, regardless of which place they fall into. In 2013 they were: injection, broken authentication and session management, and cross-site scripting. The purpose of this paper is to delve further into three of the top web application vulnerabilities from the past few years and evaluate their impact.
And accordingly, I graduated with Bachelor’s degree in the field of Information Science and I started working as a software engineer in Sapient Technologies. Meanwhile, I had an opportunity to help my friend move into a new house and help them design and decorate their house. This move rekindled my interest in...
