Its shameful that people like Rahul Tyagi and Ankit Fadia making fool to many organisation and students in India by showing kiddy tricks. Most surprising part is Ankit is getting business and he is teaching Hacking in some of the university in India.

He was exposed back then by our staff, but had a huge following of people who believed it really was his original material - people for whom it was easier to parse random internet articles than pick up a volume like TCP/IP Illustrated. The (no…

This is the way things work in India, unfortunately. People are a bit gullible, and don't bother to do a bit of research.

I don't claim to be a "hacker" but would just like to say that there are smart people here. They are not just as vocal as these people who, as others have said in this thread, are good at selling themselves to the media.
