About the Job

Requirements

Proficiency in C/C++ and PowerShell for tooling and automation.
Proficiency in x86/x64 assembly for reverse engineering and file structure.
Knowledge of reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and Portable Executable file structure.
Applicants must submit a resume/CV, all education certificates to date from secondary through tertiary education, and, for current undergraduates, the latest university transcript from Year 1 and a student status letter or degree audit, combined into a single PDF.

Responsibilities

Research cybersecurity products' detection capabilities and vulnerabilities.
Develop a proof of concept to extract detection heuristics and test vulnerabilities.
Develop an automated tool based on the proof of concept to help malware analysts identify malware heuristics and anti-detection behavior.

Duration: 2 - 4 Months

Internship Type: Undergraduate

The project aims to understand malware through the lens of cybersecurity products. Modern cybersecurity products have evolved to incorporate novel detection capabilities and anti-tampering features to stay relevant in today's cybersecurity landscape. Understanding these capabilities and features will allow malware analysts to gain insights into unique malware heuristics and anti-detection techniques used by modern malware.

The project requires the intern to research on cybersecurity products with the aim of understanding the products' novel detection capabilities as well as potential vulnerabilities in the products that could be exploited by malware authors. The research findings could then be developed to supplement malware analysis and identification of malware authors' use of anti-detection techniques.

Scope & Deliverables

Research on cybersecurity products' detection capabilities and vulnerabilities.
Develop a Proof-Of-Concept (POC) to extract detection heuristics and test vulnerability.
Develop an automated tool based on the POC that aids malware analyst in identifying malware heuristics and anti-detection behaviour.

Prerequisites/Skills Required

Proficient in C/C++ and Powershell for tooling and automation
Proficient in x86/x64 Assembly for Reverse Engineering and file structure
Knowledge of Reverse Engineering, Vulnerability Research, Portable Executable (PE) file structure

About the Company

Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies

Develops secure cybersecurity solutions and research

CSIT builds cybersecurity and secure digital solutions to safeguard Singapore’s national security, conducting applied cybersecurity research and developing AI and data-exploitation tools in a self-built secure cloud. Its engineers design and deploy software within this private cloud to counter digital threats and protect highly sensitive information. The center’s work is closely tied to national defense, focusing on applied research rather than consumer products and using an in-house secure cloud. Its goal is to shield Singapore from cyber threats and safeguard sensitive secrets through advanced technology.
