That's a fine way to retalliate AFTER an attack - but a lousy way to prevent
one.
Notably that's how the original Lotus 1-2-3 DRM security worked.
If you installed an unlicensed copy - it didn't just not work, it vandalized
the system.
Now - it's illegal to do that.
It's interesting that those of you who think obscurity is NOT security,
ignore prevention, focusing instead on retalliation.
It's not just bad software design.
It's bad character.
