Change the plane - from "sell". Make the software open source freeware,
become a respectable technologist and celebrity, make money from books,
articles, speaking engagements and government consulting jobs.

Or, alternately, try selling your product through direct marketing channels.
With a bit of tweaking, the text you posted here could be whipped into shape
to be ane effective a tool for attracting customers. You'd just need to use
LOTS OF CAPS and Exclamation marks!!!!, Dno't be arfaid of splellling errors
or grammar that so is bad cannot that people understand. Tell everyone to
tell everyone they know about your product, carefully avoid any indication
as to the nature of your solution. By all means include testimonials from
your IT pro friends, but protect them from unwanted email by neglecting to
say who they are. Don't bother getting any unbiased party to verify the
results that your friends have gotten, and never harden an actual machine on
the internet, as this will only infuriate the hackers who will launch an
advertising campaign (obviously a DoS attack will not work, will it?).

And once your marketing plan has finally been created, buy some address
lists and send it as unsolicited email using an anonymous mail address.

The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block
of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards - and even
then I have my doubts.
-Eugene H. Spafford, director of the Purdue Center for Education and
Research in Information Assurance and Security.

Every computer with outside connections is a security risk.
As long as anyone can log on, it is possible to hack it.

Yes, powered off is clearly not enough any more: Quantum computer works best
switched off (http://www.newscientisttech.com/article/mg18925405.700.html).
The rest is good old physical security - how many times it din't work?

I'll give you my smart card - hack away. Seriously, the notion of
"everything is nsecure" works best for security philosophers (likes of Bruce
Schneier) and not so much for the hackers.

But I think that, when someone believes that there is a 100% secure
solution, the hackers will have there day ...

First, we had virusses.
We solved it (not 100%) by making ant-virus software.
But the real solution agains virusses is:
-closing all ports (against worm virusses)
-not use email (against email virusses)
-prevent users to download anything from the internet (could be a virus)
....
But the 100% solution is not an option, so the cat and mouse game
between virus makers and anti-virus makers began.
The same happened to spy and adware.

Next, we had buffer overruns, where hackers could execute code in data
segments. To solve this problem for a 100%, everyone should replace all
hardware for new ones that support hardware dep (the software version
may have bugs in it).

Next, we got SQL Injections. So, all buggy websites should have been
rebuild (not done; I regulary see websites that are stil vunrable)

The problem is that people make software. And because people make
misstakes, the software is full of errors. Because of these errors there
are openings for misuse of the software, local or remote.

You cannot solve this problem by making software, because this software
will have it own mistakes in it.

To give an analogue, look at the story of the enigma. The Germans had an
unbreakable code - which eventually was broken by the english.
Like there is no unbreakable code, there is no secure system.

The only thing that we can do is make it so hard to hack a system, that
no one bothers to try it anymore. But there will always be hackers that
only see this as a challenge, and break in anyway.

By the way, nice link. I don't know how to secure this .....
