About the Role

Knowledge of data structures, distributed systems, virtualisation and containerisation technologies. An understanding of network protocols and how software works from assembly through to interpreted languages, and everything in between. Familiarity with vulnerabilities such as memory corruption bugs (stack/heap/integer overflows, format strings), and techniques attackers can use to bypass common security protections ( NX, stack canaries, heap protection, ASLR, etc.) Knowledge and experience of embedded systems and operating systems, and hardware techniques for prototyping and debugging these. Knowledge of Linux OS internals. Ability to self-learn any language, given appropriate resources to study and practice. Practical knowledge of common white-hat exploitation toolsets and techniques for common flaws in low-level software, as well as web platforms ( SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, upload/download abuse, RCE). Reverse engineering experience ( IDA Pro, Ghidra).
