To do your thesis in my group you need to have the following:
- Hands-on Experience: Practical experience with hardware and software testing tools, development, debugging, and troubleshooting.
- Programming Skill: Having good skill in at least one programming language
- Interest in Hardware and Software Interaction: A curiosity about how software interfaces with hardware.
Being member of SaarSec CTF team or other CTF teams in Germany is a big plus
Alternatively, you could skip all of the above requirement by simply passing my advance lecture on Reverse Engineering and Exploit Development for Embedded Systems.
