Yeah that's the rub -- everything has a hole in it. Still, obfuscation can thwart the efforts of many otherwise PITA obnoxious students and losers living in basements. I see thousands of attempts every week from China alone, and have resorted to IP blocking and ridiculously long passwords, among other techniques. We can't keep everyone out, but most hackers will move on to easier challenges.
