Ankit Fadia (born 1985)[1] is an Indian self-proclaimed white-hat computer hacker, author, and television host. He is considered to be a security charlatan.[2][3][4] His work mostly involves OS and networking tips and tricks and proxy websites.[5][6][7]
A number of his claims regarding his achievements have been disputed by others within the security industry, and he was mocked with a "Security Charlatan of the Year" award at DEF CON 20 in 2012.[2] Attrition.org also reviewed his claimed credentials and included him on their Security Charlatans list,[8] calling into question the veracity of his marketing statements. He has been accused of plagiarism in his work.[9] His claims of hacking feats have since been discredited by many magazines.[10][11][12]
