Ethical Hacking

Book Abstract by: shriganesh    

Original Author: Ankit Fadia
First Read this paragraph, "Before proceeding further, I would like to introduce myself and about my achievements. Recently,
I proved LIVE ON-AIR on a reputed news channel of India, that India's all internet banking, internet shopping and internet trading websites of India have vulnerabilities. I proved this LIVE (on camera) right in front of 'IT' Minister Mr. Shakeel Ahmed, Technical and Legal Experts, Director of Indiabulls Securities LTD. (Share broking firm) and India's star editor and chairman of IndiaTV news namely Mr. Rajat Sharma. You may confirm about my expertise level by checking on (+91)9350593505(INDIA TV). In this LIVE and Exclusive Breaking news continuously till 24 hours I challenged and proved right in front of camera LIVE by hacking all bank websites, shopping, websites, trading websites of INDIA. This is the world’s biggest ever Hacking proved challenge in legal way to help the Nation and with an intention to work for National Interest. I proved that as concerned to India's Information Security field not one or two or three but all internet banking websites, all internet trading and all internet shopping websites within India can be hacked. This was proved to be possible during my LIVE telecast on 3rd August 2006 recently. More then 60 websites were hacked all at a same time right in front of camera. With my previous 6 years experience in security research, I worked as technical assistant of chief minister of gujarat and even for army intelligence. So, this was something about me."
Now can you may take your own decision whether I am doing my own publicity or not ? If yes ! go to www.hackingmobilephones.comwhich is the website of so called self claimed hacking expert ankit fadia who performs similar activities fooling the readers of his book, fooling the general public, fooling the information security and information technology community, and so on(sorry ! but I don't have more words). A person who specifies in his book that internet is a big source of information where many hacking tools and techniques are available. Then I would like to know how you can call yourself an expert in hacking when you use readymade contents, tools, etc. to hack into any website. An expert is one who has made available such hacking tools and techniques on the internet for you. And then after also saying, " hacking is an ethical education". In the view of law and order system globally, hacking is only and only crime nothing else. I don't know whether this person knows his aim or path or just boasting up to be famous. I think you should decide whether ankit fadia is an expert or a hacker, because until and unless I understand he is nothing more then a hacker who has 0% expertize and who uses readymade materials and contents for his books and testing research. In my view, "An expert can be hacker, but a hacker cannot be an expert".

    Nirnay Kapoor

    A Journalist Speaks

    Exactly it's happening. Ankit Fadia is a self claimed hacker and does not have any official evidence about his expertise. He is really trying to earn money from peoples without any knowledge just due to media hype. I am even from media agency and that's why I know that a journalist / reporter or even sometimes many editors do not have sufficient knowledge on complicated security field. They believe the topic to be a fact told by ankit fadia because they believe that he has achieved something. Where as many don't even know that he is just misguiding and this is not called a true acheivement.

    What a spammer!

    Kalpesh Sharma? Is this the same notorious troll, who has been banned from sulekha.com, wikipedia.org and many other sites for shameless self-promotion? He has a criminal record. See: http://old.zone-h.org/en/news/read/id=3442/ http://www.cybercellmumbai.com/case-studies/hacker-hacks-into-a-financial-website http://www.mid-day.com/news/city/2006/december/148165.htm IndiaTV aired his programme just because they needed a sensational story. The so-called hacking of websites was fabricated.
