Laurie wrote Apache-SSL,[2] the basis of most SSL-enabled versions of the Apache HTTP Server. He developed the MUD Gods, which was innovative in including online creation in its endgame.[3]

Laurie also has written several articles, papers[4][5][6][7] and books,[8][9] and is interested in ideal knots and their applications.[10][11]

Laurie was a member of WikiLeaks' Advisory Board.[12] According to Laurie, he had little involvement with WikiLeaks, and didn't know who ran the site other than Julian Assange.[13] In 2009, he also said he wouldn't trust WikiLeaks to protect him if he were a whistleblower because "the things that Wikileaks relies on are not sufficiently strong to defend against" a government's resources.[14]
