Most probably?

Of course it is, and with ease for the right person. The $100 router and Freebie ZA pale in comparison to the technology used in keeping some high profile gov't sites secure. They get hacked though

Im sure it is remotley possible, but very very difficult especially considering that no one would try that hard to get my mp3's and pictures.

Ill give you my IP and i'd love to see you get in

But really, I feel that for my needs, my solution gives me the best cost/performance ratio.
It cost me about 40 bucks for the NAT router. And the firewall software is free.
And i've never been hacked, and never had any of these worms affect me.
