More than 400 000 attempts were made by hackers and
crackers to break into a Trustix Secure Linux computer – none of
them successful.

“Trustix AS, a leading Internet infrastructure software company
that provides Internet software for management of systems,
software, security and information, today announced it has
successfully participated in a competition by hackers and crackers
who tried in vain to break into its secure operating system –
Trustix Secure Linux.”

“More than 400 000 attempts were made by hackers and crackers,
many of them professionals, to break into a server running the
Trustix Secure Linux operating system. During the four day long
event, none managed to break into the Trustix Secure Linux
computer, and none managed to put it out of business. The Trustix
Secure Linux computer withstood all attempts to compromise security
and put it out of business.”
