Job description
Description
Over the past years exploitation of kernel vulnerabilities has become increasingly difficult and convoluted, demanding in-depth knowledge of kernel data structures, subsystems and mitigation mechanisms.
Kernel exploitation is an art as well as a craft, and keeping up to date on the latest developments provides a great learning opportunity.
This internship is about writing exploits for Linux kernel vulnerabilities.
What you will do
This internship has two primary objectives:
Develop working exploits for one or more publicly known Linux kernel vulnerabilities.
Development of a knowledge base on exploitation techniques and the Linux/Android kernel, documenting:
Kernel security mechanisms and relevant data structures
Kernel exploit mitigations on Android
Generic exploitation techniques (not necessarily kernel-specific)
Exploitation techniques for the Linux/Android kernel
At the end of the internship you will present your project internally to your peers, and do a public communication (blog post, paper or conference talk) about it.
Profile
Required Skills
Strong knowledge of C and Python (intermediate)
ARM architecture and Aarch64 assembly (basic)
Familiarity with classic exploitation techniques (intermediate)
Knowledge of modern exploit mitigations (basic)
Linux user and kernel knowledge (intermediate)
Use of kernel debuggers (intermediate)
