Ankit Fadia, a 16-year-old student used 15 days of his summer vacation to write a book on computer hacking that is due to be published next month.
The 600-page book, titled "The Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking," is being released by the Indian unit of UK-based Macmillan Publishers.
It describes various Internet tools employed by computer hackers and also has a section teaching readers how to write and deal with viruses.
"We have got pre-orders for over 3,000 copies, and once the book is available on stands, we expect it to do very well," said Macmillan's Managing Director Rajiv Beri.
If this guy has half an ounce of talent , and knows others with half a clue....makes sense to buy this book just so you would know what tricks they have up their sleeve and what you will be up against if you are on their list of possible targets.
You mightn't get all of the tricks of the trade , but knowledge is good against those who like the tag hacker , and who can't help writing a book about it to let the world know how good they really are (if this is the case of course).
