As someone else pointed out, this is just security through obscurity at this point.

Putting a padlock in your locker is not obscurity just because a skilled attacker can pick it open if given enough time.

As I responsed to that person, obscurity would be changing the name of the "isAdmin" property to "dhASDuhVNAS132" trying to conceal what it does. So implementing something like Fractal as a security measure would be obscurity.

But OK. Thank you.

Point is you already have a padlock. What you did was to paint "TSA Certified" on it hoping nobody would be attempt to pick it.
