Revision as of 18:02, 29 November 2006 by 59.95.219.156 (talk) (→Published works)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Ankit Fadia is an Indian computer security and digital intelligence consultant. He has authored several books on computer security which have around 80,000 copies across the globe. Fadia is also cyber terrorism expert and is currently pursuing his Bachelors in computer science with specialization in Information Security at Stanford University .
Hacking claims
Fadia self claims that when he was 14, he trashed the front page of an Indian magazine. He then sent an e-mail to the editor confessing to the hack, suggesting counter measures. At 15, his book on Ethical Hacking made him the youngest money earner author to be published by foolish peoples of Macmillan India.. He again self claims that in 2001, he discovered links between the Chinese government and the China Eagle Union, a hacker group responsible for defacing many U.S. web sites. But he never shows any official evidence which proves that he is only interested in self publicity and earning money by fooling peoples. He stated that the "long-term goal of the Chinese government is actually to take over the internet and control all parts of the internet".
As per his claims, in November 2001, Fadia was consulted by a classified intelligence agency for breaking an encrypted message which was believed to have been sent by one of Osama Bin Laden's men. But many 100 times more experts then ankit fadia, in the field of Information Security states that he himself claims everything whatever specified in wikipedia from top to bottom and that there is not even a single percent truth behind any evidence that he is expert in any areas except in fooling media agencies, publishers and ciizens of India. He self claims that Fadia is associatied with Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI or Central Intelligence Agency|CIA whereas one of our very intelligent personnel confirmed this from FBI and CIA that they even don't know who is Mr. Ankit Fadia, however, he himself denied this.
Work of foolish author and publisher
Fadia has authored six books on topics related to Computer Security, including:
- Network Security: A Hacker's Perspective
- The Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking
- Hacking Mobile Phones
Future plans
In 2005, Fadia said that he is going to write a thriller on the lines of Dan Brown's Digital Fortress, which he hopes to make into a movie. He claimed that a production company has approached him with a blanket offer. He said that he was also planning a restaurant in Pune or Ahmedabad.
