Actually, Windows 98, 2000, and XP all have exploitable RPC services, and i'm not talking about the buffer overflow issue here. You can exploit it to create a virtual command prompt, and telnet into it.

You'd have to get enough access to run a program before you could use system() to mess with people though.

Oh, and I use Outlook Express. I hate it, but Outlook and Outlook Express are the only things that can connect to the hotmail servers :-/ Hopefully I'll be getting rid of hotmail soon though, and that will be followed with getting rid of Outlook Express.

I don't like him either.
On his website,he boasts of a tut. of giving title bars of Windows different colors without using the control panel.
That's what he calls hacking???!!!
When it comes to actual hacking time,he says he won't do it for his visitors!
Who the !@#$ asked him to do it,if u make a site,theleast u can do is atleast explain the basics!
And worst of all,he uses Windows for hacking,not Linux.
HAHAHA

that fellow is a millioner here because some sites have endrosed him for publicity... and the government departments are calling him for seminars and stuff because they think he is an expert on network security.. The police here dont even know the difference between a TV and a computer and now they have hired him to help solve cyber crime..... man that guy stinks..He says on TV that since people are jelous of him they speak about him like this...

Even the underground hacking community hates him here..

I just read Ankit Fadia's BS page, and he is a $$$got. Anyways, he'll die in the real world. I don't believe one thing on that webpage. This script kiddie wont get anywhere in life.

**Edit**

We should all boycott his book. And if any of you have any of them, burn them.

Wow. This guy is good. Take a look at this 1337 stuff:

...
It all began with a simple email from the 'Hacker Underground'. Sixteen-year-old Ankit Fadia was warned of a few Pakistanis hatching a plan in a chat channel to attack an Indian Web site.

After gathering more information about the people behind the attack, Ankit pretended to be a member of the group by taking on a member's nickname and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Even as they discussed how they would deface one of India's leading corporate sites, Ankit Fadia had recorded a copy of the chat transcript and mailed it to a US spy organisation that had hired him. The corporate site was then pulled down for two hours and uploaded with anti-cracking software in place.

Only 10 days into his job with the international organisation associated with the US government, Ankit is nonchalant about his success. The Delhi Public School student explains: "They were basically Kashmiri hackers, who wanted to deface the site and put it up with the message that Kashmir belonged to Pakistan."

This entire episode was a single day's work for Ankit Fadia.

From a news site. What a looooser.

Let me put up some of his quotes:

I admire Kevin Mitnick a lot. In fact, I copy his style of spoofing IP addresses that I picked up via his official site. I am now known by that style.

[my book]...was a 15-day effort in my summer holidays...

There is not much that changes on the hacking scene. Only if the operating systems change, then one has to figure out new ways. For example Windows XP was tougher to break in as compared to the regular Windows.
