Should Stack Exchange be more obscure in its systems' structure? As @RoryMcCune wrote in his response to security.stackexchange.com/questions/2430/…, obscurity shouldn't be relied on for security but there are situations where obscurity is good as an extra layer on an otherwise properly secured system. Obscurity isn't bad in itself - it's bad only if it is used to hide the fact that the system is otherwise not secure. |

How does syskey in Windows increase the security in a domain? As long as syskey is not stored on the Windows machine but in a removable storage device you should be OK. Graham Hill wrote in his response that if you map a USB drive to A:\ syskey will be written to that drive. If so that's probably you're best bet. |
