Approximately 60-hours terror siege of Mumbai resulted in the deaths of over 150 people (toll still rising), while more than 300 people sustained injuries as the terrorists took hold of Nariman House, Taj Hotel and Oberoi-Trident hotel. I am deeply saddened with the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and it is due to the India’s brave armed forces, a few of who lost their lives in battle with the terrorists that the situation is back in control. With this post, I would like to salute five such heroes, whose sacrifices will not be forgotten for a long time – Hemant Karkare (Chief of the Mumbai Anti-Terrorist Squad), Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan (National Security Guard Commando), Ashok Kamte (Additional Commissioner of Police, Mumbai), Vijay Salaskar (Head, Anti-Extortion Cell, Mumbai) and Gajendra Singh (NSG Hawaldar).

Recently I was invited to present a guest lecture at the DD University (Nadiad) during their ClaroTechnico 2008 event. I presented a lecture on hacking and covered topics like types of hacking, history of hacking, anatomy of a hack, etc. Here are some photographs of the event.
