New Delhi: He has just appeared in the 10th board examination but Sahil Khan is already being touted as next Bill Gates in the making.
The 15-year old wizkid has come out with his third book titled The Tricks of E-mail Hacking.
Despite the ominous tone of the title, Sahil contended that a hacker is not a cyber criminal.
"A hacker is a good programmer. He is more focused on aspects of cyber security while it is a cracker who breaches security knowing the techniques of hacking," said Sahil speaking on the occasion of his book release function.
Sahil already has two books to his credit -- Crackers and Hackers and Anatomy of a Computer Virus released last year.
Acknowledging the sensitive nature of his field, Sahil said his book is meant to "empower ordinary internet users against the world of cyber crime and not to get people to misuse the technology".
Rekha Vohra Bhalla, a former IAS officer and senior educationists, who was present on the occasion, said, "Kids like Sahil are crucial to the country's security and can help buttress the cyber security framework."
