"Cannot be hacked" is impossible: Everything can be hacked.
That's what hacking means...
I could optionally block --eee-list and --eee-justextract, but
the code of both EEE and RubyScript2Exe is on the 'Net, so
smart people can "decompile" it anyway.
And if they are not that smart: The running application is
temporarily unpacked to /tmp (or %TEMP%), so you can just copy
that directory before the application terminates.
