Forwarded from: security curmudgeon <jericho (at) attrition.org> : http://www.livemint.com/2012/01/24210113/The-digital-hacktivist.html : The book offers little that is new or unique, ... That summarizes his entire career, both in presentations and books. : Fadia is not respected among hackers, who accuse him of being : inexperienced and lacking depth of knowledge, and of making a quick buck : out of information that is freely available on the Internet. Despite http://securityerrata.org/errata/charlatan/ankit_fadia/ Given he plagiarized 32% of his seminal work, and then plagiarized a subsequent book more heavily, it's easy to understand the lack of respect. : this, Fadia remains one of the few well-known hackers in India, and even : as he acknowledges the allegations against him, he is quick to point out : that his goal is not to write for the technological elite, but for : everyone. Who he writes for is not the issue. Plagiarism isn't acceptable if it is meant for one crowd and not another. _____________________________________________________ Did a friend send you this article?
