- lmm 10y agoWell until there's evidence of it's effectiveness I'm going to avoid using obscurity. I know how to achieve an acceptably low break-in rate using mathematically valid encryption etc.. Defense in depth shouldn't be an excuse for using practices you haven't evaluated the effectiveness of at all.
- TickleSteve 10y agoYou're missing the point. An acceptably low break in rare using mathematically valid encryption.... Yes, fine... Given a perfect implementation. You haven't got one of those.
- lmm 10y agoNo, you're missing the point. I'm talking about the real-world implementation that I have. I don't think it's too much to ask before adopting a given security policy that it provide some evidence that it increases security. Or should I also be gathering a collection of rocks that keep hackers away?
