Great find, coffeegrinder.
Well done!
Bad news, the only way to truly hacker proof your machine is not to be connected to the internet ,luckily, it is much easier to make your machine slightly harder to screw with, thus causing most people to target the totally undefended.
Thanks coffeegrinder. Now to sit down for a good read. Wait ... I'm already sitting down. maybe I should stand up.
