The $100,000 challenge for hackers/crackers

It's really interesting. Great way to enhance their security...

I heard about this from my computer teacher like a week ago. Basicially their server is "unhackable". The whole server is hardware. There i a little space for the website and that is it. No scripts, no nothing. I think they even run their own os. I learned this from the newspaper i get in the morning, http://www.dailyherald.com/search/ma...intID=37319278
Everybody disagrees with me when i say this server is unhackable, but it really is.
Just my two cents,

I am little leery of saying anything can't be done. They said the Titantic was unsinkable. You know how that turned out! Unless this thing is a solid concrete block it's bound to have some vulnerabilities. But this is a great way to draw attention to their new product. But how wise do y'all think it is to tell a hacker/cracker that they can't do something? Isn't that asking for trouble? BTW. The articles I looked at didn't say anything about them actually having an actual server on line for "practice" cracks. Where did that information come from?

To bad I don't have any skillz. With 100k on the line I bet someone took the time to make it more or less hacker proof. But then again nothing is 100% secure.

I just took a look at their website and found
1. They do not invite you to hack anything
2. They give you the 999 numbers
3. This has nothing to do with hacking, it's a crypto challenge
4. The computational power that is needed to accomplish something like this is way beyond what any individual has, unless they have access to a mini, super or a large cluster.

Here you go.. the following txt has the first 999 bodacions. looks like fun. I'm gunna have to crunch thru this later tonight. BTW this is all they gave me.
