Wtf, why ppl struggle so hard with simple concept

Obscurity increases the bar, and now, some actors will be prevented just by it, some delayed and some not affected at all, but after all you dont know who is attacking you and their skills!

It's just a good component of a defense in depth approach. Where it's bad is when it's the only defense. Putting a sensitive server behind port knocking will cut down on 99.99999% of random internet IPs spraying attacks at it, so it's worth doing. Just don't rely on it for the only auth check.
