WireX Immunix Adversary, DefCon

[Crispin Cowan <crispin () wirex com>]

WireX is recruiting for an "adversary": someone to perform penetration 
testing against Immunix and other related systems. The candidate will 
need to be familiar not only with how to run exploits against systems, 
but also how to modify and change exploits, e.g. to repair deliberate 
damange in exploits posted to bugtraq in crippled form, or to port an 
exploit from one target system to another. Obviously, programming skills 
will be necessary, especially C programming.

This position is presently planned as a 6 month experiment. However, 
successfull execution may lead to the position becoming permanent. As a 
result, we will not be transporting people for interviews, or relocating 
candidates: candidates for this position must be located in the Portland 
Oregon area, or willing to get here.

However, WireX also will be at DefCon <http://www.defcon.org/> this 
year. We will be playing an Immunix 
<http://www.wirex.com/logos/imx_penguin_small.gif> server in the CtF 
games <http://www.ghettohackers.net/ctf/>. We have an adequate team of 
defenders, but we would like to have more attackers on our team. Playing 
for our team would be a good way for us to get to know you. For that 
matter, playing for *any* team would give us exposure to your skills; 
just be sure to talk to me at the con, preferably earlier than later.

To apply, either contact me in person at DefCon, or e-mail your 
application to jobs () wirex com. Resumes should be in ASCII, HTML, PDF, or 
PS.

WireX is an equal opportunity employer, & all that usual stuff.

Thanks,
   Crispin
