But obscuring may take away time from securing and it adds complexity to the system but systems with less complexity are easier to secure. So you at least have to be careful.
- lightedman 9y ago"But obscuring may take away time from securing" That's because you're looking at the order entirely wrong - you secure then obscure.
- pacaro 9y agoIt is also important to consider the complexity too. There is no such thing as "Security through unnecessary complexity", only the opposite. The examples about changing port numbers are great, they are simple configuration changes, when people start wanting to add obscurity "features" they often wander down the path of complexity, inevitably adding vulnerabilities.
