Who you are:
Maybe you're a seasoned software developer with years in the industry, or maybe you're a high school dropout who ditched class to read computer books and write exploits, but in either case, late nights programming for the sheer fun of it are familiar memories, and you have serious interest and at least some knowledge of computer security. You love eloquent solutions to complex problems as much as 'normal' people love gourmet food and great sex; you relish in picking up new languages, and you see yourself moving up in the engineering track, not the management track. You prefer developing against open source libraries to closed source libraries. You prefer open source UNIXes to Windows, but maybe you can't help but admire certain aspects of the way the Windows kernel was designed. You know that the IP header comes before the TCP header and that that's where the IP address goes, and know what RFC stands for, at the very least.

The job:
1/3rd research (along with the rest of your team) and 2/3rds software design, implementation and testing. You would be working on a small team of security software engineers. We are researching new ways to reverse engineer kernel and process data structures to detect the presence of an attacker and analyze his or her behavior. A typical day's work might be, reading about and reverse engineering the Vista heap, implementing experimental code to detect exploits directed against this allocator, getting coffee with your co-workers and talking about your new discoveries while they talk about theirs (and you struggle to get a word in edgewise), and then writing some actual intrusion analysis code.

Cover letter:
Please email a detailed cover letter in your response to [Diana's Email Address], telling us about your technical background, a bit about your life history and interests, and answering the following question (you have to 'decrypt' it first =)
