One thing I've had hammered into me by pretty much every security expert I've talked to is that security by obfuscation is not a substitute for actual security measures. However, it has me wondering; are there any valid cases for security by obfuscation, when used in conjunction with other methods of security? Or does it not have any real effect on security at all?

  • Obfuscation is not security. It can be very useful, but it is not secure. – schroeder Oct 12 '20 at 17:34
