Ankit Fadia- Hacker Genius or SkriptKiddie?

Ankit Fadia - this is the name of a new indian sensation who claims himself as a 'Hacker'and the indian media is backing him with all support. In his very short age, he has become the author of three books about 'Ethickal Hacking'. He is the youngest author in the history of Macmillan India.By the age of 14, he published his first book named "The unofficial guide to ethical hacking".

He was educated at Delhi Public School. He is the author of a website called "Hacking Truths", which he claims was judged as the "second best hacking site in the world by the FBI. He also claims that, at the age of 14, he breaked into the front page of an indian IT related magazine's(which is 'Digit')website. After that he simply informed the authorities of that site about the hack, and suggesting some counter measures. The authorities arranged a meeting with the so called hacker, but when they saw him, they were surprised to see that he was just a boy. In his finding he always favoured U.S. and there fore his site was stated as the second best in the world, there is no surprise in that. In his site he claims that, he discovered a link between the chineese government and the China Eagle Union, a cracker group responsible for defucing many U.S. Web sites. He also claimed that the "Long term goal of the Chineese is actually to take over the internet and control all the parts of the internet.
He was the one who decoded the harddisk that was captured from pak militants and hence he became the hotspot for the indian media.Fadia's earlier site, Ankitfadia.com, was attacked in 2003, by a cracker who self-identified as SkriptKiddie. Fadia explained that he was usig a private web server for hosting his website and they were responsible for the lack of security.

In my opinion, he doesnt deserve to be known as an 'Ethickal'Hacker. The main fact is that, most of the hackers uses an operating system other than the windows, while Fadia uses Windows Xp. See more facts on this link- http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about74571.html
