Internship Security Researcher (Unpaid/LIA)
- Application Deadline: Dec. 31, 2024
- Stockholm
- Hybrid
We have entered the summer holiday period which means that many of us are away on vacation and we will therefore be a bit slower to get feedback on your application
The Security Research team
This team is currently composed of security researchers with a focus to make sure that the members of Detectify Crowdsource - our network of ethical hackers - are engaged and enjoying the best possible experience when collaborating with Detectify.
When our hackers submit a vulnerability through our Crowdsource platform, our team builds a module for it and adds it into the Detectify service. By reporting the vulnerability to us, it becomes a security test which is then made available to all our customers – this is how Detectify combines automation and crowdsourcing.
These tests come in various, unique flavors, and are driven by crowdsourced security knowledge. We in the Module development team team are responsible for validating, configuring and executing such tests on our customer’s web applications.
We aim for the best possible scanning performance with comprehensive coverage of possible security issues optimizing for flow, fast feedback and quality. We follow lean and DevOps concepts, aiming to be innovative, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership for all the things we build.
What you'll get to do
As a Security researcher, your main responsibility will be to validate and implement proof of concepts, uploaded by our Crowdsource and internal researchers, into our scanners. This is a great opportunity to boost you knowledge around hacking and vulnerabilities
Other responsibilities include:
-
Communicate with our internal security researchers in order to gather all necessary information to understand the submitted vulnerabilities.
-
Develop modules from vulnerability reports using JSON-based DSL or Go.
-
Perform code reviews to ensure accuracy and reduce false positives.
-
Consistently review behavior of implemented modules to identify false positives or negatives.
-
Work with continuous automation of module development.
