While 'security through obscurity' shouldn't be your only defense, it still plays a crucial role within 'defense in depth' strategies. In the past, sensitive networks relied heavily on obscurity alone. Just dialing the right phone number could grant access to highly sensitive networks. However, there's a cautionary tale of a security researcher who took the phrase 'don't do security through obscurity' to heart and dared hackers, leading to disastrous consequences. Obscurity, when used appropriately, complements broader security measures. Take SSH, for example. Most bots target its default port. Simply changing that port removes the easy targets, forcing attackers to use more sophisticated methods, which in turn, leaves your logs with more concerning activity.
