Task
- During your Master thesis, you will conduct research in the area of system security for Linux-based embedded systems. The thesis is about investigating interrupt behaviour and its influence on the exploitability of vulnerabilities. Interrupts can be used by an attacker to increase the chances of provoking a race condition vulnerability.
- You will design and implement methods for extracting system-specific interrupt information. The aim is to assess the interrupt capabilities of an attacker from user space or external interfaces.
- Furthermore, you will evaluate the methods on emulated systems using the YOCTO project and QEMU.
- Last but not least, you will have the opportunity to work creatively and discuss your own ideas with our team of security researchers. The results of this thesis can potentially help to prioritise vulnerability mitigation by more accurately assessing exploitability.
Profile
- Education: Master studies in the field of Computer Science or comparable
- Experience and Knowledge: experience with Linux-based systems; fuzzing methods is an advantage
- Personality and Working Practice: a self-motivated, reliable and independent person
- Languages: good in English, German is a plus

What we offer: Benefits at Bosch
Financial Benefits
“I don't pay good wages because I have a lot of money, I have a lot of money because I pay good wages.” - Robert Bosch, 1931. We still live by this principle at Bosch today: in addition to attractive salaries, we offer many additional financial benefits, such as bonuses for the joint contribution to the company's success, individual performance-related pay and private and company pension schemes. In addition to benefit portals with discounts in numerous online stores and services, our associates naturally also get special conditions on Bosch products.

Whether it's new professional goals, personal development, or more time for family, friends, and hobbies – priorities can vary from person to person and change throughout a lifetime. That's why we offer flexible working models, including job sharing, flexible shift patterns, part-time options, and sabbaticals.
