I think that if you are going to use “fun names” it should be for workstations only. Servers should be named using useful naming conventions. Wait is it vader that is responsible for oracle? No wait, he sends mail I think. Aaahhhhh fuck it, I’ll just connect to it and figure it out… That would PISS me off ---

> [@LZ](#): > > I disagree with your real admins comment… > > So many kinds of portscans and OS detection techniques that simply naming your servers random names offers no mitigation of risk… I never said it was true. It is in someways when dealing with less intelligent people. But security through obscurity is a dumb concept. Personally I no longer care what box names are. I just want shit setup right and secured correctly. Which is amazing how much that doesn’t happen at so many places.
