    Security by obscurity is no security.

      It is if you are defending against automation.

        It defends against the lowest level of automation. And if that is a legit threat in your model, you are going to have a bad time.
        It’s just going to trip you up at some point

          I’m not saying it should be your only defense. I’m saying that changing defaults is a good idea for secure systems.

          For instance, you should change the default WiFi password on your router.

            Yes, because a password is security

              So is changing the port. It won’t do a lot in terms of security but it will help a tiny bit
