Security through obscurity tends to have a negative connotation, at least in the IT world. I don't agree with this, but it's prescribed as being bad. My belief is security through obscurity is a "further step" one can take to eliminate a certain class of threats. It by no means should be the only mechanism of protection, but instead should be incorporated only as part of a layered defense.
