Re: Suggestion for a new feature, port code

In my mind this is not security by obscurity, no more than one-time passwords. 
The ports can be compared to the keys of a keyboard when typing a password.
As with passwords, the implementation is not a secret. 
The port that is protected is not hidden, it is locked.
It adds security and do not add attack vectors as it is implemented as a simple 
ruleset for pf, protecting sshd. It can also be combined with authpf.
Why waste energy on spammed logs with scans and attacks, banning and luring with 
honeypots on the outside?
Why give sshd unnecessary exposure as it may have weaknesses?
