That is so utterly stupid. Most script kiddie attacks I have seen don't even bother to be subtle at all, they just use the shotgun approach, taking an exploit and pointing it at machines until they get in. Hiding version info is pretty damn useless. Kurt Seifried - seifried@securityportal.com
I agree. Security by obscurity doesn't help - in the contrary: It shows
the attacker the level of experience to some degree. You should easily be
able to recognize an MTA just by its reaction to some teasing and bugging.
The other way around is very funny, though. (do as if you have a
vulnerable version and watch the h@x0r5 wasting their time...)
