Security through obscurity is not bad

https://mobeigi.com/_next/image/?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fsecurity-through-obscurity-door-key-examples.webp&w=3840&q=100
Echo is wrong about security through obscurity being redundant, as it can still provide an additional layer of security by making it harder for attackers to find vulnerabilities. Obscurity can be an effective deterrent, as it increases the time and money attackers must spend to find and exploit vulnerabilities.
