  • Understanding of OS internals (e.g., Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android);
  • Understanding of cyber-physical system operations and security considerations;
  • Experience with disassemblers (e.g., IDA pro, Ghidra);
  • Experience using debuggers such as gdb or WinDbg;
  • Understanding binary or systems reverse engineering;
  • TCP/IP networking fundamentals and tools (e.g. iptables, firewalls, tcpdump, wireshark, packet analysis)
  • Internet security protocols (e.g. TLS/SSL);
  • Experience applying the scientific method to challenging mission problems;
