Either that or they're researchers or adversaries playing a game. Because trying to figure out WTF is going on is hard, so any clues you can extract from your targets makes things easier.
- voidfunc 2y agoAgree, a lot of people misunderstand the purpose of security through obscurity.. it's a layer on top of other layers of security designed to waste attacker time. If your attacker is a nation state that's probably not going to stop it, but it might stop a lot of other lesser threats who realize it's not worth the effort.
