Seriously, how do you hire someone to try to hack a secure code?
I know that sounds weird, but this is a legit request... My company is creating a process for physically securing a door lock that uses software built to communicate via Bluetooth. We know that there will be people trying to attack this system as this is for "doors" in the public domain. We have been working with an outside company to build the security and software, but are thinking of trying to find someone to "crack"the system before deployment.
So how do you find someone who is good at that without risking public knowledge? Oh sure, my company has loads of lawyers and retained legal firms, but the reality is that if the "keys"were posted on the internet, by the time we prosecuted we could be out of millions of dollars. And since I mentioned that this is a door, we are talking, basically about finding a "locksmith" who operates somewhat on the right side of the law... he/she needs to be someone who is trying to beat the system...
What would you do?
