I agree with you... I think it is more of a sales motivated publicity stunt. "We put our box on the internet and NO-ONE could hack it" This reminds me of Microsoft's contest, and look how well that went. but hey for 100000DM they get a better test than using a few people at a single company.

That in four days a bunch of script kiddies will pound away at a system they know nothing about? There is a very good chance that you will come out of this "contest" un-hacked and again, what will that prove? Contests such as these are not replacements for secure coding and proper security operating procedures. Just because someone fails to deface your web site or root your box in four days doesn't mean that the software or system is secure.
