Re-read this slowly and carefully, and pay attention. He *has* made up his mind. Unfortunately, the real world has intervened. Most people discover sometime around Ankit's age that just because they've made up their mind to work for the FBI, or play lead guitar for Aerosmith, or play football for the Houston Oilers, that they really better have a backup plan in case the job offer doesn't come through.
When I first came across this kid a couple of years ago, I wrote him off as a less-than-clueful media whore, as well. On careful reevaluation, though, I think he's more a victim of media hype than a generator of it. He's essentially a big fish in the very small ocean of Indian infosec. Because he was active in an arena where there weren't many competent players, he did draw more than his share of attention from government agencies and big corporations. Being young and technically aware, yet able to express yourself without resorting to foul language or w4r3z-5p33k, does have its attractions for the adult world... m5x _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
