I used to work computer security work for GSA (A Branch of the federal government.) I specialized in what was then called hacking and is now called cracking. I have spent the past 15 years doing other things and have just recently gotten back into programming. Since January when I got back into programming I have hacked into Facebook and changed the Facebook api to do what my customer wanted it to do. I have wasted no time getting back on the ball and am able to figure out how to program anything.
I currently work alone but do have access to a team for a larger job. If for some reason I am having trouble, the group of guys I used to work with at GSA all graduated from there studies and most of them went on to work for the CIA. I am still in touch with a couple of these guys and they would be willing to give me pointers when needed.
