The game, to my knowledge, never actually says that it can't be taught. The fact that Nihilus is alleged to possess this ability by way of the catastrophe at Malachor V does not preclude the possibility that it can be conferred to a Force adept through training.
If I recall correctly, Kreia also says that the Sith assassins in service to Nihilus and Sion use a lesser version of the same technique; the KotOR campaign guide explains that Kreia instructed Nihilus in the ways to harness his powers to "radical new heights" etc.
This very strongly suggests that it can, in fact, be taught.
"It is a technique that is almost as old as the Sith themselves…it is a means of severing connections between life, the Force, and feeding upon the death it causes. It cannot be taught…it can only be gained through instinct, through experiencing its effects, first-hand." ―Kreia
Although really - this debate has nothing to do with whether it's associated with the Sith or not.
I already know it is, and am not disputing this fact - I only pointed out that my little buddy JAdams was implying that because he thought Vitiate was the most powerful ancient Sith, that somehow he knew Nihilus's technique.
But because Nihilus's technique springs from a state of being and cannot be taught, Vitiate obviously didn't know or possess it.
That's what the little Retard and I were arguing about.
So duh, it was associated with the ancient Sith; that's retardedly obvious.
But none of that means Vitiate had it - so he's screwed.
Nihilus rapes him, here.

Poor, pitiful teenager. He plays KOTOR II and thinks he's ready to debate on this forum. It's adorable! He loves mentioning that kreia claims that it cannot be taught, yet in the same game, claims the ancient sith created it but refused to use it. This isn't so much a debate as it is a slaughter.
Maybe you're angry because you're the teenager and wish you were older, like me.
Kreia never said the ancient Sith created it, nor refused to use it, Noob.
You've never really played the game, have you?
Nihilus's Hunger is a Condition - there are Sith afflicted with it, so it has never been refused by them - however, it was never stated to have been created by them, as well.
Nihilus's Condition cannot be taught - and Vitiate who is not a Force Wound like Nihilus - is screwed here.
Are you resorting to gibberish because you're losing?
So now that you know Vitiate doesn't have Nihilus's technique; isn't a Force Wound.
Do you think Vitiate would die trying to stop Nihilus, or would he get down on his knees and attempt to give Nihilus a good old-fashioned blow job to appease him?
Vitiate is sucked dry of all his tender Force-flesh, and left on the floor a lifeless, rotting carcass.
And Nihilus has a nice snack.
Nihilus wins.

So how about it? Does Vitiate give Nihilus a good blowjob - or does he just beg?
