Re: Is Portknocking "Real" Security?
said by sivran  :At the very worst, it's like having one extra password to enter. What could be so bad about that, aside from the annoyance factor? Actually, once you install the software it can become pretty much transparent, so the "knock" can take place without you being aware of it (and even use cryptography to do so).
The end result is that you just login as normal regardless of where you are, while the rest of the world sees nothing whatsover. To them there might as well not even be a service running.
