you know that rce is not exactly a 'hacker term' or anything of the sort, and is (in my experience) used in more formalized circles to differentiate between people reversing hardware/processors/etc and people reversing software right? i find the idea a little absurd that anyone would need help to use the term, maybe i misunderstood you though.

I also feel like "RCE" is kind of the inside-baseball term for reverse engineering; did someone we all know help them?

I might be unjust (and these things might have merit), but the idea of having ISO certifications for reverse engineering and exploit development cracks me up. What ARE the relevant standards, procedures and methods of RCE ? The way I view it RCE/VulnDev are not really standards, procedures, methods based -- in the same manner that math isn't. But I might be wrong. Either way, I find this mail hilarious. Names have been changed to protect the guilty. ===================================================================== Visit our new IT security certification programme at http://www.IRRE.org. The fundamental objective of the IRRE certification programme is to raise qualification as part of business excellence. IRRE certification aims to facilitate iterative-incremental qualification and the dissemination of good practice. The IRRE certified credential is a key differentiator in the selection process for analyst positions, new assignments of the professional expertise and knowledge within the software security profession! If you plan to build up a career in IT one of today's most visible professions and you have at least 2 years of experience in the IT sector then an IRRE certification should be your next career goal. (*** SNIP ***) IRRE Certified Reverse Code Engineering Professional Based on a famous decoration, the IRRE Certified Reverse Code Engineer provides with a high sophisticated certification trail an ultimate way to show your proven excellence in the field of IT-Security and IT-Anti-Security according to ISO/IEC 17024 to address the many challenges of software protection, malware, or exploitation analysis. Participants get trained with relevant standards, procedures, and methods of Reverse Code Engineering and get trained with high practical background. With certification participants are able to fulfil extensive binary security analysis and binary auditing processes on software systems and software security environments. (*** SNIP ***) IRRE Certified Binary Vulnerability Auditor Linux Normally a single exploit can only take advantage of specific software vulnerability. Often, when an exploit is published, the vulnerability is fixed through a patch and the exploit becomes obsolete for newer versions of the software. This is the reason why some black hat hackers do not publish their exploits but keep them private to themselves or other malicious crackers. Such exploits are referred to as 'zero day exploits' and to obtain access to such exploits is the primary desire of unskilled malicious attackers, often nicknamed script kiddies. Participants get trained with relevant standards, procedures, and methods of developing exploits and shell codes and get trained with high practical background. With certification participants are able to fulfil extensive binary security analysis and binary auditing processes on software systems and software security environments. ===================================================================== _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
