Under a sysmask-protected system, network daemons and network
applications are running under environments similar to that for the
submitted codes of the challenge.

When a hacker breaks a daemon or when a virus breaks a browser, it
encounters very similar situation as for the challenge. So if you don't
know how to break the challenge, you won't go very far by breaking a
daemon or writing a virus.

My own systems are already sysmask-protected. Worse than the challenge,
the protection rules are not published. The general public is
recommended to wait for sysmask-1.00 before installing it.
