Hardcore Disassembler / Reverse Engineer

Reversing must be a passion as your skills will be challenged
on a daily basis and you will be working several hours
everyday in IDA, Ollydbg, and with BinDiff. Often, it is also
required that you write a PoC or even a working exploit to
prove that an issue is exploitable.
