Geek Wanted - IRC, P2P Expert

Is packet sniffing your favorite pastime?

Do you spend 8 or more hours a day logged into IRC or P2P?

Do you think Lee Harvey Oswald was setup?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we may have the position for you. We're looking for the best and brightest of the technology underground to help combat online piracy. The entertainment industry is losing billions of dollars in the fight against the distribution of copyright protected media such as music, movies, and software. New file trading networks are popping up almost daily, and piracy runs rampant.

We are in search of individuals who understand the art of piracy in the Internet underground and can join our crack team of engineers to help us develop techniques to combat it. The ideal candidate will have spent hours of their life in front of a computer screen, and given up one or more nights of sleep over it.

Qualifications:

•Critical thinking and problem solving skills are a must

•Knowledge of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks and how they operate

•Knowledge of internet protocols used to transfer files across networks

•Experience with application and protocol reverse engineering

•Unsurpassed technical savvy

•Taste for caffeine and black t-shirts

If you think you have what it takes to join our company, let's talk . Please include a one or more page letter detailing your strengths, your experiences, and why you think you have what it takes. You may also include a resume, but we are really looking for an individual who can make their knowledge stand out from all the rest. Wannabe geeks & script kiddies need not apply. Ponytail optional.
