Need urgent help regarding security

[Bigby Findrake]

I'd just like to make a small contribution to this discussion.

While most of us understand the merits and flaws of security through
obscurity, I would like to point out the semantic fact that the phrase is,
indeed, "security *through* obscurity", that while not flawless, obscurity
is another path to security, that it is (more) difficult to attack the
host you cannot see, (more) difficult to exploit the flaw you cannot
detect, (more) difficult to connect to the daemon you do not know is
listening.
