The thing is, he got there first in the india-context and hence a great deal of hype.
Yes, This kid ran a site that had a lot of tips on old Windows Registry tips which was fun in old days. He hasn't grown-up ever since . His first book had topic that dealt with 'Bypassing Windows Screen-saver passwords' and his second book had long C code that helps you to find IP address of your friend using AOL/Yahoo Messenger. Well, this isn't stuff any serious system's admin ever reads nor the stuff that is suitable for security consultants.
One of the employee of Dlink told me the ruckus this kid created for them when they sort his 'skills' for them. He later gave them some hot air advice in airport lobby and charged them a bomb without even stepping into their campus.
I wish this guy stops using the phrase 'hacking'. Its out-right insult for the true hacker community.
