[syslinux] PXE and Security Issues

[Larry Howe]

I know this isn't the "philosophy of security" mailing list, but here's my 2 
cents. ALL security is through obscurity. On average, it would take a fast 
computer longer than the age of the universe to guess a 2048-bit key. 
However, it is not impossible that you could guess the right key on the first 
try. Same goes for all passwords, keys, filenames, etc....anything that 
someone might need to get into a system...it's secure because it's obscure, 
and ONLY because it's obscure!
