  • An interest and aptitude for vulnerability research (either from a professional background or by demonstrating an aptitude).
  • A passion for understanding how things work, testing them, pushing them to their limits, and finding security issues in them.
  • An understanding of hardware and software development lifecycles and their impact on security practices.
  • Applied knowledge of cryptographic algorithms (encryption, authentication, signatures, etc).
  • 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).
