Internship - Pentest M/F

You will join the Ethical Hacking team to conduct a applied research and development project. You will design an isolated test environment, develop a prototype, conduct measured experiments, and present your findings to the team.

Three avenues are open, depending on current needs, your interests, and your progression pace:

• AI Agent Assisted Reconnaissance: orchestrate external reconnaissance tools via an agent, and measure the reliability of its summaries.
• AI Agent Benchmark on Active Directory and Web Pentests: evaluate how far an agent progresses on its own in attack scenarios of increasing difficulty.
• AI Assistant for Pentest Report Writing: transform raw mission notes into a first draft of a report, ensuring its fidelity to the evidence.

• Build an isolated and reproducible lab.
• Develop a prototype (Python, scripting, offensive tools).
• Conduct experiments with objective metrics.
• Document and present your work to the team, with a demo.

The list of missions is not exhaustive; they will depend on your aptitudes, skills, and desired evolution.

• Student in Master 1 / Master 2 in Cybersecurity or Computer Science.
• Foundations in offensive security, networks, web, and Linux.
• Python development and scripting.
• Curiosity for AI and LLMs.
• Rigor, autonomy, a taste for experimentation and demonstration.

A plus: notions of Web / API, practice of CTFs or platforms like HackTheBox / RootMe / TryHackMe.

For a Master's degree level profile (bac+5), the gross monthly internship allowance offered is between 1500 and 1700 euros.

In addition, there is access to social and cultural activities offered by the social and economic committee, access to the company restaurant or meal vouchers, as well as a 50% coverage of the transport pass.
