    I'm a Penetration Tester and Cyber Security Specialist who is a professional in evaluating the security posture of Web-Applications (Websites) and ensuring the security of personal clients' online identities, accounts, devices, and networks, I've possessed my current knowledge through 3+ years of self-study and research plus 2+ years of work in the industry, protecting clients on a personal level and running vulnerability assessments against business websites, always leaving positive impression and impact, I hold a great record of being able to expertly provide the following services: - Perform comprehensive security checkups on Emails and Phone numbers and pinpoint security holes which often lead victims to be hacked with zero interaction nor awareness from them. - Assist in Account Recovery (Ex. Instagram, Facebook) - Educate thoroughly on the findings and remediations for a vulnerable target, equipping clients with enough information to trust themselves as they continue to utilize the technologies as normal with no fear of being targetted by hackers. - Investigate and educate on online frauds/scams, especially crypto ones, why and how they work, and how to distinguish between legit and not legit easily. - Clean up networks and devices from viruses/malware and ensure optimal patching for security. - Report fraud websites that impersonate legit businesses for a takedown. IMPORTANT: When it comes to cybersecurity-related services, there is a number of scammers not to be underestimated, whether within or outside of Upwork, therefore stay vigilant and keep in mind the following, 1. If you were scammed online via crypto, there's no one out there with the right to give a guarantee that they will be able to recover it for you despite how well furnished the so-called hacker's portfolio appears to be, the chance remains very slim and you should only pursue this kind of service for the sake of leaving no stone unturned knowing the high probability of failure, and you should only select a freelancer with a reputable profile and reviews to back up their activity because scammer accounts are usually fresh with no reviews and no verified ID, feel free to consult me to evaluate that. 2. Same applies to the request of hacking an account, there are complicated caveats that explain why it DOES NOT work the way you think it does but to keep it short, if you want someone's account hacked, aside from it being illegal and unethical and isn't the type of "service" I provide, the chance for it to work is about 1% to begin with, again, I'm available for consultation, account recovery is a different subject with a higher probability for success as long as it's your own account that was lost/hacked.

How to Hire a Hacker

What is a hacker?

To the general public, hackers are best known as individuals skilled in using computers to circumvent cybersecurity measures and gain unauthorized access to data. In the professional setting, businesses may hire ethical hackers to find vulnerabilities in their software and systems to prevent sensitive information from being stolen. When they discover vulnerabilities, they are patched before being exploited by a malicious third party.

How do you hire a hacker?

You can source hacking talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a hacker.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview hackers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of hacker you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire a hacker?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced hacker may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their hacking services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.

How do you write a hacker job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample hacker job post titles:

  • Need a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) to security-test a Cisco network
  • Seeking a professional hacker to harden our systems against ransomware and malware attacks
  • Hackers for hire to penetration-test our AWS cloud network
  • Remove a phishing attack on a WordPress website

Project description

An effective hacker job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From penetration testing to vulnerability scanning, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain technologies or developer tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Hacker job responsibilities

Here are some examples of hacker job responsibilities:

  • Scan company networks for system vulnerabilities
  • Design and perform penetration tests 
  • Conduct cybersecurity audits
  • Break encryption protocols on locked files
  • Offer recommendations for improvements to cybersecurity

Hacker job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications your looking for in a hacker. Here are some examples:

  • Cybersecurity, network security, information security and engineering
  • Penetration testing and other cybersecurity testing methods
  • Computer programming
  • IT infrastructure
  • Ethical hacking certifications (e.g., CEH, GIAC Penetration Tester, OSCP)
