Just trying to make analogies people can understand over the years.
The current state of computer security.... is like building a fort, out of cases of C-4 explosive.
How so? Almost every program has bugs, many of which can be exploited remotely. It is effectively impossible NOT to have a zero-day exploitable hole in any given computer. Thus, every single computer can be exploited... and then used to attack more computers.... in a chain reaction.... like a fort built out of C-4.
