So, you're thinking about using 'security by obscurity'? The advice? Don't rely on it! While it might seem clever to hide vulnerabilities or keep your system's inner workings secret, it's *not* a robust security strategy.
Think of it like hiding your house key under the doormat. Sure, it might deter a casual passerby, but a determined burglar will likely find it. Similarly, a dedicated attacker *will* eventually uncover your 'obscure' security measures.
Instead, focus on layered security. Implement strong authentication, encryption, and regular security audits. Use obscurity as an *additional* layer, not the primary defense. Hiding details about your system *might* slow down an attacker briefly, but it shouldn't be the foundation of your security posture. Invest in actual security measures that provide real protection, even if your 'obscure' methods are compromised.
