Does anyone know how trustworthy this objective-see project is?

I remember once installing several of his apps, but then coming to the conclusion that i don't know enough - even though he consistently seems to find and fix flaws in OSX.

Why isn't Apple hiring this man?

EDIT: Why are people downvoting this question? If i'm implying something then i'm unaware of it.

The tools are legit, and the bugs are real, but he has a distasteful habit of feeding sensationalist quotes to outlets like Forbes and Vice.

This time, he told Forbes that "the hacks effectively take Mac security back a decade" [1], and Vice quotes him as saying "this is likely the worst or potentially the most impactful bug to everyday macOS users in recent memory". [2]

Forbes ran the story with the headline "The ‘Worst Hack In Years’ Hits Apple Computers", and that's bullshit.

Thanks for the insight! Seems like quite a talented dude but with the mandatory eccentricity that seemingly often comes with . Great to know that the tools are legit.

I just think this is how the PR/Media flow goes with these things.

Some people don't want to be coerced into working remotely near Cupertino …

And that's fair, i wouldn't either, what i mean is they should seriously consider giving him some consultancy fees, bounties / whatever since he's consistently doing good work.
