Cyber Vulnerability Researcher Intern

As a Cyber Vulnerability Researcher intern, you will:

• Conduct research into security vulnerabilities on systems and software.
• Get an opportunity to understand how vulnerabilities manifest and how a malicious attacker can exploit them.
• Look into various techniques to discover vulnerabilities, like reverse engineering, code auditing, black box testing etc.
• Analyze the vulnerabilities and develop proof-of-concepts to demonstrate the security impact these vulnerabilities may have.
• Look into security mitigations and assess their effectiveness at mitigating these vulnerabilities.

Broad Deliverables

• Research into techniques and tools to discover vulnerabilities in systems and software.
• Analyse security vulnerabilities and assess their impact.
• Research into ways to mitigate against these vulnerabilities.

Possible Projects*

• Windows systems
• Network devices
• Linux systems
• Mobile devices
• Cloud systems and services
*List is non-exhaustive as projects are subject to availability at point of application

Prerequisites/Skills Required

• Strong interest in Cyber security
• Experienced in C/C++ programming and Python
• Knowledge in assembly (e.g. x86, ARM), reverse engineering and software vulnerabilities (e.g. buffer overflows) is highly recommended.
