Re: OK, now there's a company I won't use for security..
Most IPSECS experts are snake oil con men
I can confirm that. And I'd include a large proportion of the now apparently defunct CLAS consultants in that. The number of times I had to pull utter idiots out of the fire before they got themselves burned to badly is staggering. The problem is that you can't leave them stuck for educational purposes in the hope they get removed from the roster for sheer incompetence because it victimises others.
The simplest red flag for me is when someone calls themselves an expert. There are VERY few people who deserve that title, and giving it to yourself makes you too American for me to trust you with anything sensitive.
