In comparing the security back in the day, and modern, much more complicated systems,
how much of a factor is overall complexity in the way things have changed over the years?
Does more complexity (and therefore obscurity) make things harder, or does it make things easier,
since even the people doing the security don't understand what's going on?
In other words, what's
your take on obscurity/security?
