@attritionorg I was expecting that. Since people are still surprised by it… an occassional reminder is merited -
@joshcorman@attritionorg the actual problem with security through obscurity is you can't control your obscurity -
@dakami@joshcorman The other 20+ year old problem is people who believe "security through obscurity is no security at all". -
@attritionorg@dakami@joshcorman if it is only hidden, it will be found. obscure away and leave it at that. -
@r3d4ct3d@attritionorg@joshcorman Empirically, lots of hidden nastiness goes decades without being found. -
@dakami@attritionorg@joshcorman true. but that is not reliable security. just perhaps luck, good or bad depending on how you look at it -
@r3d4ct3d@attritionorg@joshcorman Do we *ever* deliver reliable security? - 6 more replies

@attritionorg@joshcorman I would argue that if I'm using FreeBSD and Opera I've reduced the attack surface and likelihood of getting owned -
@desmondholden you are right, but that is not the aspect of the debate that is so maddening (cc@JoshCorman) -
@attritionorg oh, well you brought that upon yourself when interacting with@JoshCorman :)
