Have u heard of ANKIT FADIA, the youngest hacker from INDIA ?
ANKIT FADIA
It all began with a simple email from the 'Hacker Underground'. Sixteen-year-old Ankit Fadia was warned of a few Pakistanis hatching a plan in a chat channel to attack an Indian Web site.
After gathering more information about the people behind the attack, Ankit pretended to be a member of the group by taking on a member's nickname and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Even as they discussed how they would deface one of India's leading corporate sites, Ankit Fadia had recorded a copy of the chat transcript and mailed it to a US spy organisation that had hired him. The corporate site was then pulled down for two hours and uploaded with anti-cracking software in place.
Only 10 days into his job with the international organisation associated with the US government, Ankit is nonchalant about his success. The Delhi Public School student explains: "They were basically Kashmiri hackers, who wanted to deface the site and put it up with the message that Kashmir belonged to Pakistan."
This entire episode was a single day's work for Ankit Fadia.
But that's not all. His 'hack and tell' book titled the Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking has sold 18,000 copies in India and 9,000 copies internationally within its first month. His second book is due to release in May this year.
The users on antionline.com, a security Web site, ranked his security site second in the world. He was also invited by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation to lecture its agents at a convention in Florida last year, which was called off at the last minute due to the September 11 attacks.
Ankit has lectured professors and students at IIT Kharaghpur and Banaras Hindu University and is due to address a public meeting in Taiwan in August this year.
Young hackers are not news. What distinguishes Ankit is his commitment to ethical hacking, which keeps business sites going. Refusing to stay anonymous, Ankit comes out clean on his tricks so as to help improve security.

The ones you never hear about. If you know who they are they obviously screwed up somewhere.
