(Until we get that micropayment setup going, I'm going to need your home address to send these two pennies in return for your two thoughts. Or...if you deem it an agreeable alternative, I'll just give you my "two cents" instead.)
Yeah, that's probably what I'll do. Obviously, I have little experience with security coding...probably should've figured that. Humor the ignorant by answering another question, if you (or anyone else) would: what seem to be the primary reasons 'security by obscurity' fails so often? I can surmise, of course, that the cleverness of the many outweighs the cleverness of the few...especially when compounded with the depth and breadth of testing of the many vs. the few. Anything beyond that?
If it's any in-cent-ive (oooh I like that pun :D), should you respond to this question as well, I hereby release any and all intellectual property rights I hold (i.e., none) over the phrase "Penny For Your Thoughts" should you want to ever use it.
- Kliment 17y agoOkay, you've in-cent-ivized me. The way I see it, when you have a secret security solution, you tend to convince yourself that "it's okay, noone will ever figure it out" and thus settle for something less secure than you'd have to otherwise. A lot of security solutions thought of by very experienced and smart people have been broken. Assuming yours would be better is quite a statement. If you can back it up, awesome, then all the more reason to publish it and collect fame.
