This is what happens when you entrust software security to ex-hackers. Hackers love complexity because that's the kind of environment they thrive in; yet when they start working for the other side as security consultants, they still love complexity. Complexity ought to be the security consultant's worst enemy.
Ex-hackers often talk about security as if it's something you need to add to your systems... Security is achieved through good software development practices and it's about minimalism. You can't take intrinsically crappy, over-engineered, complex software and make it more secure by adding layers upon layer of complex security software on top.
