Security through absurdity¶
It was recently suggested that I consider "using unusual ports" at work as a security measure. After I got my breath back I found these quotes.
Security experts have rejected this view as far back as 1851.
Historical perspective:
Rogues are very keen in their profession, and know already much more than we can teach them.
Modern principle:
System security should not depend on the secrecy of the implementation or its components.
