Not sure if you are serious or making fun of my remarks

Presuming the former, the technical technique is explained in numerous patents.

In layman’s terms, it’s known as a sandbox, a device that traps all hackers, viruses etc.

More basically, it’s a tiny computer through which it purges extraneous add-ons (viruses) and inquiries (hackers) before sending to the computer it is protecting not electronic signals, but light images.

The product is not for sale; only lease. Its lease fee reflects its business application; not its home use. Moreover, most business have few computers that contain data that must be protected.

I thought you would be delighted to learn there was at last a solution to keep PLA hackers out of valuable US databases.

It looks like anovel approach-a “hosting” module, in line, between the PC and the net.

I’m sure exactly how it works, though.

If a virus hits the module, it attacks the module, rather than the PC?

And then, your montyly service fee pays to eliminate the virus from the module??

I think that we're so focussed on gadgets that we've lost the "art of war". Sun Tzu, Mao's Red Book, even the little Swiss "Total Resistance" pamphlet all say the same thing: guerilla warfare is attritive. That's how the Mujihideen beat Russia in Afgahnistan and that's what's happening to us, yet, our answer is to spend ever more money on expensive technology in a major recession: is history repeating itself? The Eastern art of war is more focussed on outsmarting enemy leadership than outfighting his army The Isreali model is the best, but we're handicapped by the cultural, racial and linguist gap, and we have only a corrupt Afgahn gov't of divided loyalties to help us over that. However, Achille Bazaine had the same problems during his conquest of Algeria and Mexico" "L'system Arab", as he called it: you can't tust any of them,but you can outsmart enough of them to win.

Don’t give ‘em any ideas, Recon: that one is WAY too good! The only thing you forgot is shutting down every DoD facility for EPA violations: but, we might manage that all by ourselves.

The Chinese are adept at building all things with less bells and whistles, and in large numbers now! The same can be said for training large numbers of cyber warfare specialists manning those consoles as required for complete vertical warfare to interrupt logistic flows that they are part of! We have only done this in times of war and currently adverse to for purely political reasons. Wait till they infiltrate our medical , financial and legal systems and we all pop on a piss test, declared bankruptcy, and have warrants out for your arrest! Ever try to deploy with a legal or medical hold!

The solution is at hand, and it’s a fixed fortification, in a manner of speaking.

See the tenth reply from the top about the InZero Gateway.

DARPA just bought 1000 to protect their data.

Clearly, Patton’s declaration isn’t applicable in cyber war where the fluid solutions (anti-virus software) are always playing catch-up to the ever evolving cyber attacks.

The fixed solution–the hardware device made by InZero called Gateway–is the only device in the world that stops all hackers. All. Todo. None get through. Zip. Zero.

As Patton put it, “Fixed fortifications are monuments to man’s stupidity.”, and I think that our whole computer net is just that.
Rather than clamp down production attenuating cyber security mesures, would it be so hard for you IT guys to just responde to these cyber attacks with one of your won?
I mean, can’t you guys hack as good the other hackers?
Everytime I get a phishing e-mail, I wish I knew enough about it to reply with an embeded virus of my own and scramble the phisher’s computer.
That’s “cyber warfare”.
All we seem to be doing is fending off attacks without taking out the attacker.
Someday, the attacker is going to get good enough to beat anything, if we just keep on giving him the OJT and don’t take him out..

So right, you are, Semper Fi! And the Chinses have already done things along the same line. They devalued their Yuan on the international exchange, which also devalued their prices: competition no one could beat. But in a state run economy, it didn't hurt China-they fixed internal prices and the average Chinese found themselves with lots of work and a fair enough wage. And by doing so, they put foriegn competition out of business and now have a global monopoly on many comodities. Try to buy non-Chinese made ascorbic acid! You won't find it! Out of business: and it was our own CEOs who "outsourced" it. If China calls in their dollar debt, we'll not only be broke, but we also won't be able to produce anything ourselves. They have already won WW3! Why protective tarriffs weren't put in place to stop this can only be explained by corporate greed and our politicians, who didn't see anytign wrong with turning the US into a nation of consumers. That was the "services" economy that was making the flap a decade ago. We'll just sell our management skills and "judgement", which was the biggest sell out, of all.

Yes, I am aware of Trustifier. It is one among many fine firms with a proprietary software solution to manage a network of computers.

ike its peers, a dedicated hacker with above average skills can get through whatever barriers Trustifier establishes for a network like a hot knife slicing through soft butter.

Our claim to fame is no hacker, virus, malware, disgruntled employee can get through our Gateway. None. nada. zip not even through the mouse, VOIP, keyboard or by stealing data via a portable thumb drive. The data is removable but it’s turned into gibberish if the network administrator hasn’t authorized the download.

Big claims = much skepticism. Check it out free for 30 days.

(FYI: DARPA bought 1000 of our Gateways. You can’t go wrong if you have valuable data you must protect. If it’s garden variety data on your home computer, forget it. The price now is too high for protecting that caliber of data. Maybe in 60 months, it will make sense. By then, the price should drop so it’s affordable for regular folks like thee and me ).

All they have to do is sell off all their dollars for 10 cents on the dollar and we will fall, as a capitalist society is only as good as its monetary foundation, look at what almost happened last fall. They own us and we continue to pump billions eery day into the money pit. I lived in the orient for half my life and seen many issues decided by one fact, and that is patience. The Chinese will wait us out and then strike, when they are ready and whenwe are weakest, Sun Tzu is their guide in fighting wars. Wake-up the as the sleeping Dragon is coming. An excellant book to read is “Red Dragon Rising”.

thats all well and good, but since we got a cadre of GORDON GEKKO’S running things, we are gonna pay. greed is NOT good, and it will be our ruination. Sun Tzu was a master, and the chi-comms are following his directions. 2012 can’t come soon enough…

BTW when it comes to infowar these guys are amateurs compared to some of our strongest “allies” and what they do to us repeatedly including selling the information to these guys. The only comparison apt is that of members of the Coalition force in Afghanistan secretly targeting other coalition forces or even “fragging” their own command. If what was happening in infowar on a daily basis happened in real life we would probably be on WW 6 or 7 by now.

China is like having a lion or tiger for a pet. As long as we keep feeding it, we will not get eaten. Once we stop, then we become its food. If we stay on this same course with Communist China, we will all be speaking Mandarin Chinese within the next 60 years. Mao always did say that he would win America from within.

I work in this area. Suffice it to say we are susceptible. Not only are we susceptible, the eggheads and wireheads will give you a false sense of security that ALL weaknesses are covered when they are covering only one. After various stints I have come to the conclusion that there is a divide. There are certain things that are invulnerable world, in a manner of speaking. Then there are things that need to be put in that world that for reasons completely unknown to me but I suspect have to do with greed, and shortsightedness are not. The PLA, and lets face it they are not the worst threat in that realm, are not hobbled by rights suffrage etc. Under the thin membrane of “democracy” they are the same folks that were shooting people in the streets yesterday. It is our own fault, again greed, for not sticking it out until Both Soviets AND China were defeated.

WE have no one to blame but ourselves and these guys, the same commies as yesterday with better PR firms will bury us. It’s our greatest motivation and greatest weakness. I am sure the reason they don’t just flood the market with our debt instruments and kill us outright is because they enjoy having us running on the mill like rats.

We should concentrate on the contents of “The Wisdom of Sun Tzu.” It will give us the best advice on the philosophy and tactics we should, ourselves use. They are announcing their plans and we should take heed.

I am not concerned by hackers working for the PLA or for anyone for that matter nor should anyone else who wants to protect important data.

The solution is at hand but only, for the time being, if your computer operating system uses MS Vista or XP.

See http://www.inzerosystems.com for more details. If you have the cajones to test the anti-hacker device at no cost for 30 days, use the following code: O U O X A U 9

Install and relax. No more pesky viruses, trojans or hackers from where ever will bother you again or, worse, steal your data
