If you're running a linux box that MASQs all packets from the LAN, and
drops all the incoming connections from the internet (both of these with
IPchains) - I believe that it can be said that you're 100% not hackable.
A computer that does not accept connections at all is like a computer
which is not connected to the i-net.
