Windows CNO Developer

- Research, identify, and evaluate Windows kernel vulnerabilities, such as privilege escalation, sandbox escapes, and persistence mechanisms. - Design, develop, and sustain CNO/CNE tools and functionalities targeting Windows platforms (both kernel and user mode), ranging from proof-of-concept to production-readiness. - Conduct advanced reverse engineering of Windows binaries, drivers, and system components to comprehend behavior, exploitability, and mitigation strategies using tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra, and WinDbg. - Create kernel-mode and user-mode code in C/C++ and Assembly for implementing implants, loaders, and exploit chains, with an emphasis on reliability and stealth. - Formulate and validate exploitation techniques for intricate Windows targets, including evasion of modern protections (ASLR, DEP, CFG, kernel mitigations), in collaboration with cyber research teams. - Integrate CNO capabilities into operation frameworks and tasking/dataflow pipelines, ensuring configuration, logging, and secure communications. - Execute debugging and troubleshooting of low-level software in lab and simulated environments, involving crash triage and performance assessment. - Collaborate extensively with analysts, operators, and other engineers to ensure alignment of capabilities with mission objectives and provide technical advisement on feasibility and trade-offs. - Produce clear technical documentation (designs, CONOPs, usage guides) and contribute to secure coding standards and internal best practices.
