Computer hackers are almost always celebrated, whether they fall in the ‘black’ or ‘white’ side of the law. But you rarely get to hear about Indian hackers in our own media. And especially when these hackers are decisively helping organizations and governments in positive ways they ought to be celebrated. Here are 5 best Indian hackers we all should know of.
1. Rahul Tyagi
Beside from being an expert on breaking and entering computers Rahul Tyagi is also an author and a talented actor. With over a hundred training sessions under his belt this guy is as versatile as it gets.
2. Pranav Mistry
This hacker extraordinaire is also famous for the invention of SixthSense-a technology that’s used by NASA and also the invisible computer mouse-yes, invisible.
3. Ankit Fadia
Writing a book titled ‘Unofficial guide to ethical hacking’ at the age of 15 is a far cry from playing football at that tender age. And yet, that’s exactly what Fadia did, and the rest is history when it comes to this world-renowned Indian ethical hacker.
4. Koushik Dutta
After completing his internship with Microsoft, Dutta left the firm and went on to hack Android cell phones. Don’t ask me why, that’s how these guys work. Presently working with Clockwork mod, he turned down an offer from Sony and is working independently for making mobile platforms safer for Android users.
5. Rajesh Babu
One of the most dynamic and most ‘secretive’ of all ethical hackers he used to free lance for many government and corporate agencies and now runs his own company in Kerala called Mirox. It’s said that Babu has created the best team of ethical hackers in the country.
