The internship:

Dowel InfoSec is looking for a cyber security intern to support our small security team with monitoring, testing and documentation. Remote position. Most of the team is in Mumbai, but nobody is required to come in. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

• Good understanding of networking basics: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, ports and firewalls
• Some scripting in Python or Bash
• Own laptop that can run a virtual machine, and a stable internet connection
• Hands-on practice through TryHackMe, Hack The Box or college labs

Nice to have:
