    My free advise. NEVER HIRE A HACKER.
    There are plenty of companies with very competent Security
    Consultants that can do any job related to security. Hiring
    a hacker it's the most stupid thing a company can do.

    Just one. Hiring a hacker it's a no-no.

ESPAŅA
The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
                 -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
