• 7 years of experience in security operations, IT, systems administration, software engineering, penetration testing, academic study, self-directed learning, or other technical backgrounds.

  • Reading and understanding technical documentation, research write-ups, or adversary tradecraft reports.
  • Reproducing described behavior in a lab or test environment.
  • Documenting findings clearly in writing, with attention to technical detail and accuracy.
