They call it the unhackable server...100% secure...

Pretty much as the title says. the people at this site are bragging about this particular server being 100% secure and are encouraging people to try and crack it. Site located here: http://kernel.sysdoor.com/eng/

Anybody going to take a crack? heh

Allow me to bounce back the question. What do you *gain* by breaking into this server (if you where able to)?
IMHO you would only be helping establish credentials for a commercial package in the marketplace. If the server was broken into I see no clause saying they will share details with the community because that would essentially have them admit to flaws in their own product, right?

well, if it is hacked, the hacker could just replace their webpage saying that they had been hacked.....sure it would only be up for a few hours, but I think a fair amount of people would see it.

It's like RSA challenging Distributed.net to crack their encryption algorithms - in the name of science! They're coaxing (baiting) the security community into beta testing their product! For free! In the name of marketing!

ah well, i just want to see somebody get in because once they do, word will spread like wild fire...that'll destroy all what they hoped to do with the marketing techniques...

I'll tell you something: THIS is going to be very very interesting:

Technology used:
Suffice to say that these methods rely on algorithms that have links to the real world, such as acoustic and vibratory phenomena. That's all we are prepared to reveal.

I think I see a pattern emerging already.

No such thing

There is only one possible way to have a 100% secure machine... and that is to turn it off at the plug, remove any attached peripherals, and finally the power supply. If you're happy with that setup, then you can gleefully gloat in having a 100% secure setup... if, however, you want to actually use your computer, then I suggest you invest your time in a 99% secure system!

As Kevin Mitnik's said many times, the biggest threat to any system is not a cracker in Manila, it's probably Alice from accounts who you sacked last week.

It's like having a titanium-lined petty cashbox under the stairs and calling it 100% secure. The *concept* of a 100% technologically secure system is *redundant*. They should get a grip. I'm amazed someone senior in the system security business hasn't stepped in to slap them into reality. Probably because they don't take them seriously either.

Idiots.
