Why Join VulnCheck?

What You'll Do

• Authoring original software exploits for initial access vulnerabilities, when little or no publicly-available proof of concept code for exploiting such vulnerabilities exists.
• Implementing detections (such as Suricata & Snort signatures, YARA rules, etc.) for identifying such initial access vulnerabilities being exploited on the wire.
• Writing Attack Surface Management (ASM) queries (e.g., Shodan, Census, FOFA, & ZoomEye) for finding vulnerable systems likely to be targeted.

Why You'll Bring

• Prior experience with writing exploit code for RCE / initial access vulnerabilities (that do not require authentication to exploit).
• Experience working on technical projects remotely, alone, and on small teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior Cybersecurity work experience (at a vendor or in Government).
