It is not a security measure, per se. Security by obscurity is where you rely upon some fact which you think is not known to an attacker. The problem with this type of "security" is that, once the fact is disclosed, the security scheme is rendered entirely useless.
- jebblue 12y agoRelying on just SBO is useless, agreed. I think using it in addition so solid security reduces the attack surface which aids reduced attempts and ups the level of difficulty required to complete a successful attack. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/security+measures http://www.thefreedictionary.com/security+measures "a precautionary measure warding off impending danger or damage or injury etc."
