> Correct me if I'm wrong, but If there's no holes in the application/web stack to be exploited, then there's no getting in. Right?

Right. But there's a saying. "Nothing in unhackable". There in lies the problem. If you can build an unhackable system you literally can get whatever salary you want. If you can convince someone that such a thing is possible. But I'm pretty sure that'd count as fraud.

An unhackable system is like saying an invincible building.

They both will never exist with the proper 'adversary'.

I'm confused at your reply. Did you think I suggested something might be unhackable? Because I suggested that nothing is unhackable.

Does it have to be useful?

On a more serious note, similarly to being able to break RSA in ‘little’ time, having that kind of skill would not result in financial wealth but a huge risk to your physical and mental/emotional well-being. Imagine who would come knocking on your door (assuming they won’t straight out abduct you), and trying to tell them no.
