I cracked a tough project today. It was the culmination of 2 months of work. It was only possible because a sloppy contractor left an unsecured private key in a place he thought I'd never look.
Two lessons:
1. Don't use the same key everywhere. I got the keys to the kingdom in one singular moment.
2. Obscurity is a valid security layer. People can't hit what they can't see. But defence in depth is what works. Obscurity can't be your only layer.
