Re: Security through obscurity
said by ThunderCorp  :
i never believe in security by obscurity. i believe in security by inherent secure default settings (well written software + a good admin behind them).
Exactly. I run Outlook and MSIE and have never gotten an infection/system compromise via that vector. The *default* security settings are laughable at best. With a few well placed tweaks - problem solved. However, I did run one system overnight via a DMZ'd internal IP and it got whacked to shreds, it was running IIS FTP and some script kiddie tore it apart. That is another matter altogether, and a failed experiment.
