==Hacking claims== ==Expert in Hacking==
Mr. Sharma is an expert at hacking several thousands of websites and challenges to hack world's maximum websites with his methods and techniques. One of his images was found on the website of Esnips Limited which is an evidence about his Live On-Air hacking proof for hacking more then 50 websites all at a time. He had recently proved this LIVE on-air, on a reputed news channel of India by hacking more then 50 internet banking websites.
Fadia claims that when he was 14, he trashed the front page of an Indian magazine's website. He then sent an e-mail to the editor confessing to the hack, suggesting counter measures<ref name = "BBCarticle">{{cite web

He claims that in 2001, he discovered links between the ] and the China Eagle Union, a hacker group responsible for defacing many U.S. web sites. He stated that the "long-term goal of the Chinese government is actually to take over the internet and control all parts of the internet"<ref name="stanford_daily"/>.


Every activity was performed during this LIVE telecast in front of camera right in front of Minister of Information Technology, legal experts, technical experts as well as directors and chairmans of corporate companies. This made him the '''Global Hacking Expert''', because there is no record of hacking so many websites all at a time across the globe. He worked as a technical assistant to Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2004, and he there he had undertaken research and development activities at a large level. Again he was invited by the Indian Army(Intelligence Department) for further research on some secret matters.
As per his claims, in November 2001, Fadia was consulted by a classified intelligence agency for breaking an encrypted message which was believed to have been sent by one of ]'s men.<ref> {{cite news

Anti-India Crew (AIC), a Pakistani hacker group noted for defacing ] websites, rubbished the claims that Fadia had made in the interview. Fadia had claimed that his alert to a ] spy agency had prevented an attack by Pakistani hackers. However, he never divulged the name of the agency, citing security reasons<ref name = "BBCarticle"/>. AIC and another Pakistani hacker group WFD defaced an Indian Government site, epfindia.gov.in, and "dedicated" it to Fadia in mock deference to his capabilities to hack or prevent hacking<ref name="TheHindu_CBEC">{{cite web

AIC also said that it would be defacing the website of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), www.cbec.gov.in, within two days and challenged Fadia to prevent the attack by patching the vulnerable website. AIC maintained that Fadia should stop calling himself a hacker, if it succeeded in hacking the CBEC website<ref name="TheHindu_CBEC"/>. AIC kept its promise and defaced the CBEC website after two days. At another defaced website (bhelhyd.co.in), AIC termed the claims of Indian media about Ankit Fadia as "Bullshit"<ref>{{cite web

His every challenge had a unique point, that he had never challenged anything unofficially or without sufficient evidence.
Fadia's earlier site, Ankitfadia.com, was attacked in 2003, by a cracker who self-identified as SkriptKiddie. Fadia explained that he was using a private web server for hosting his website and they were responsible for the lack of security.
