[kingkong]

Dear Ethical Hackers,

I take the pleasure in informing you that I have tied up with IMT Ghaziabad (one of the top ten B-Schools in India) to offer India’s first and only One Year PG Diploma Course in Cyber Security through Distance Education Mode. This course is the only course of its kind that is recognized by the Distance Education Council, Govt of India and will give you the credibility, knowledge, recognition and experience to establish a career for yourself in the field of computer security. You may visit the course website at http://www.imtcdl. ac.in/newprog/ opgdcs_about. htm

This program is designed with an objective to train & produce skilled computer security experts and address the current prevailing need gap in the industry.

This course is available across all 80 IMT-Distance Learning Centres in India . The first batch of this 1 year part-time distance learning course is scheduled to start in Feb’2008 and the registration deadline for admission is 31st Jan’2008. Graduates in any discipline are eligible to enrol for this course. For further details please cal 0120 – 27055621/2705622 or visit www.imtcdl.ac. in or visit your nearest IMT- Distance Learning Centre.

According to a survey done by IDC (International Data Corp), the worldwide demand for IS Services was approximately $ 8 billion in 2001, estimated at $ 23.6 billion by 2006. Correspondingly, there is a growing demand for Information Security (IS) professionals- -this research pegs the current demand for IS professionals at over 60,000 worldwide. This is estimated to grow to over 1,88,000 worldwide by 2008. Hence, there is a need for systematic education in Cyber Security.

As you are aware today our dependency on the internet and computer has increased and with it the vulnerability to the computer system and Internet but the awareness regarding this in India is still far behind than that in the western world. Off late we have witnessed a tremendous rise in cyber crimes and with it the increase in threat to our Information Security industry more than ever before. Furthermore, practically every crime now involves electronic evidence and law enforcement personnel need the expertise to deal with these cases. Hence there is an increasing demand for highly skilled computer security experts who can safeguard the Internet. This is where courses like these are going to become groundbreaking.

IMT-Centre for Distance Education is recognized by Distance Education Council and the Diplomas awarded by IMT-Centre for Distance Education would be recognized by Distance Education Council, Govt. of India.

Happy Hacking and I look forward to meeting you at IMT soon!

Warm Regards

Hmmm,

Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ankit Fadia is a legend in his own imagination.

Basically a creature spawned by the Indian media drones.

Not really a name to mention on a professional computing site unless they have a "humour" forum.

Social Engineering at its finest.

I would say that Ankit Faker has a Masters in applied bull$hit and a Doctorate in copy and paste.

I am sure that he earns more than me, but there again, so do most cyber criminals

EDIT: Here is another one:

Incidentally, and I can tell you this without any fear of contradiction or violating our Official Secrets Act: Western Intelligence Agencies, Police Forces and Military DO NOT EMPLOY teenage Indian, self-styled "security consultants".

Oh those were the days, the internet was still young, not many country's were using the old interwebs.

A teenage skript kiddie from india, copy's and past's a lot of other peoples work. Indian people in he's 60man village think he is genius, as they not know of this Internet just yet.

Some book company gives him sack of biscuits and water so he can feed he's family and village for year.

Copy and paste get published into not make much sense book, book makes it into real world, people see that he has copy and pasted there work and not bothered to change a word. Indian folk don't agree as there teenage genius would not do that, us wersterners are gelous that he smarter.

People ask him to do lectures in he's village, he get's dry patch and cannot steal more work from internet, so he stop doing lecture's for a while.

Indians worship he's book, and he still give lectures about techniches that were usuable in the 90's but wouldn't work in this day in age.

Thus more script kiddies emerge.

i could type more but my finger sore. and i thirsty.

Oh but i must say the Certificate that one get's at the end of Copy 'n Paste lesson is made from very good imported paper, it very good to wipe bum with it nice and soft.

Hi KK
you may now want to add the missing [quotes] from your opening post
as it looked like YOU were AF

[Alec Empire]

I myself am now in my early to mid-twenties. Most of the people I occasionally exchange text with are married with kids now. Fadia might have a childlike demeanor but I doubt he's still in his teens.

I, for one, dislike him for reasons that have nothing to do with his book. And alot of people road the computer security bandwagon of 97-2000. None of them knew anything about computers either. So I don't care about that...

But when that joker used parts of my online monkier for a domain name... he went way to far.

*whew* For a second there I thought there was going to be a cyber security course taught by a guy who didn't know where to download the C language from! :-O
