A person with a coputer misuse conviction wouldn't indicate they are the best
of the best as they got caught, perhaps the reverse, furthermore, it would
indicate that they lack attention to detail ;)

Considering this mailing list, I'd assume a prison history might be a big
indicator of insecurity passion, but not security passion, per se. I wouldn't
consider prison time for hacking to be an indicator of passion in security.
It just means they made an error in judgement, did something unethical (and
illegal), and got caught, at best.

A good idea whould be to have them do a few tests on sites like
www.hellboundhackers.org for example. It's fairly basic stuff (in the
beginning) but it would prove whether they know what they are talking about
or not. Then again, this will only be useful when looking in the lines of
penetration testers. Also another good idea is to look for hackers in prison
pending release. You'll have to look hard for a trustworthy person but at the
end of the day you'll know that you got the best of the best with the highest
degree of passion availible. Alot of those people turn good after being to
prison but keeping a close eye on them wount do any harm.
