Thought about a lot of methods. Nothing can stop a determined cracker to get
access. I guess the only method is to use a an external protection dongle so
that only 1 copy of the system can be used at a given time. Can make it
really difficult to the cracker by encrypting the disk and storing the keys
in the external protection dongle too.
