OK, now that I’ve got that out of the way, its time to get on with my discussion. First, I want to talk about the positive aspects of hiring former hackers as security consultants. The most obvious advantage to hiring former hackers is that they have real world hacking experience. There are some things that you just can’t learn from a book. Books do a good job of explaining basic hacking techniques. However, I can tell you from firsthand experience that every hack is different because every network is different. It’s rare for a hacker to be able to use a single technique to gain full access to a network. Often hackers have to combine multiple techniques or apply techniques in a different way than normal to compensate for various network defenses. Only someone with plenty of real world hacking experience can efficiently go from using one technique to another as required by the present situation.
Another positive aspect to hiring reformed hackers as security consultants is that staying up with the latest security exploits and countermeasures is a full time job. In most companies, the IT staff has an acceptable level of security knowledge, but they must focus most of their attention on the day to day responsibilities of keeping the network up and running. A good security consultant focuses almost solely on security and consequently has a level of security knowledge that goes far beyond that of most other IT professionals.
