Yalamanchili has been part of many entrepreneurial ventures for capturing the market in training and knowledge based solutions by conducting workshops and seminars; and has among his clientele corporate houses and the Andhra Pradesh government for whom he develops security software for their systems.

Completely self taught in the genius of online systems, Yalamanchili published a book titled 'Decoded Hacks', at age 19 (in 2007) and is currently writing another titled, 'Making of Hacking Tools' for anyone looking for a complete guidebook on how to protect oneself from online fraud. He has also designed the distance learning course on "Ethical Hacking", which have been appreciated by both students and professionals.

A small town kid from Warangal, Yalamanchili was fascinated by computers at the age 15. "I used to run off from school to this internet café near my house and spend all my school hours figuring out the internet," he says. "One day when I found that someone had tampered with my password I was intrigued when I learnt that it had been 'hacked.' I began surfing the net for all the information I could get on hacking and understanding how it is done and its uses and mainly misuses."

Seeing his keen interest, his mother gifted him a PC when he was 18; and by age 20, he had established himself as an Ethical Hacker and a Computer Security Expert and by age 21, he released a Hackers Operating System called "JACLYN".

Yalamanchili says that hacking isn't what it used to be in the days when networks were breached by young hackers sitting in their bedrooms late at night trying out their newly learned skills from a BBS board. "Today hacking is carried out by pre-programmed viruses that self propagate around the world and trying every computer port and over flow that will have them."

The biggest internet related crimes that India faces, according to Yalamanchili are bogus lotteries and eve teasing. "People keep falling victim to fantastic winnings of huge sums of money through email from unknown sources that induce the potential victims to give their bank account details and other personal information," he explains. "The other problem is of people creating fake - often vulgar - profiles and posting compromising pictures of young girls on social networking sites like Orkut or Facebook."

Yalamanchili says there are no identity theft cases in India since not many people still use credit cards or shop online, and online banking is practically non-existent. However, the number of crackers resorting to these crimes victimizing Americans and other westerners is increasing manifold, he says.

Today, Yalamanchili is featured regularly in the television and print media for his opinions on the latest virus outbreaks, hacker community trends and vulnerabilities.Recently In August 2009, Rediff published an video interview on hacking.

Although he loves his work passionately, Yalamanchili says it comes with life threatening risks. "I have to keep changing my phone number and passwords and other security codes on a regular basis because I am a prime target for the crackers whose work I counter," he says. "I get threatening calls all the time."

With the world becoming increasingly smaller thanks to the internet, people are falling victim to cyber crimes being committed across continents. And since there is no avoiding technology in modern life, Yalamanchili advises computer and internet users to keep updating and arming themselves with the latest in cyber security. "My goal is to help keep my country secure and I am proud that I am able to do it in my own little way through my unique skills," he says.
