He’s confident system can stop any virus

Putting his money at risk the challenge of cracking his code could land you a cool 100K...

It sounds impossible, but Bodacion Technologies' Eric Uner claims to have discovered the holy grail of Internet security. Starting at a cool $17,000, businesses can buy Bodacion's "HYDRA" system to protect their Internet servers from every single virus, worm, or Trojan horse on earth. If you don't believe it, you could have tried to penetrate HYDRA to win Bodacion's $100,000 hacker prize. Tens of thousands of people signed up, but no one could, Uner says.

Uner began his career as a technology "firefighter," working on a small team at Motorola that tackled the tough stuff. After five years, he founded the software-consulting firm Virtual Media with another engineer, Eric Hauk, to build a SWAT team for business software projects. Virtual Media evolved into Bodacion in 2000 after Uner and his employees got tired of receiving emergency 3 a.m. pages when clients couldn't get into their e-mail. He decided to focus instead on building more reliable systems.

HYDRA's "secret sauce" is the constantly changing algorithms that prevent any type of electronic intruder from getting through. Based around the same "nano-kernel" operating system that Boeing uses to ensure safety in 747s, Uner says his code is verifiably bug-free. His goal is one day to be able to announce to an audience of IT professionals that he can "stop every virus on earth" without provoking laughter.

I'm not a tech yet, though I'm only into hardware, thought you guys would appreciate this!.

There could be some limitations. Like a new command introduced into HTTP won't have effect until a firmware upgrade on this firewall because it will be treated as unknown server probe and be filtered.

or is it a ploy to shall we say bring the best hackers into daylight, you know , the ones that may be a threat to our technological society
