Isn't he famous for social engineering/physical security type things? If you hire an expert in X, you are probably going to get X.

Yeah I agree, caveat emptor and all that. The blameful framing is bad work product though.

How did he go about it? Giving a manager a report saying Foo and Bar are suck at security gives the manager good information on who needs training.

If he walked into a conference room and called them out by name, that would be a touch abrasive.

Isn't he famous for getting caught?

Getting caught didn't make him a superstar. Telling his techniques in books and public speeches did.

That's not true, he was already famous during his trial which made him well known before any books or public speeches.
