Intern, Vulnerability Research

Ensign is hiring !

This position is for 2025 intake. 3rd year / Final year students preferred.

In a typical vulnerability research process, substantial efforts are often expended to gain deep insights from the analysis of a target program.

An analysis process will usually start with the characterization of the nature of the program to determine a suitable research approach. For example -

·Is the program open-sourced?

·What libraries are included in the program?

·How are inputs received?

·What are the types of outputs expected?

Depending on outcome of the characterization, vulnerability analysis of the program is then conducted with the help of appropriate analysis tools, techniques, and methodologies.

In this project, the intern(s) will explore various techniques that can aid in the vulnerability analysis of software. This may include: -

·Uncovering the internals of a selected program

·Developing tools to aid in the different stages of the analysis process

Pre-requisites:

·Willing to tackle challenges in the cybersecurity domain

·Interested in Vulnerability Research
