I’m aware of that specific meaning. (Hiding under uncommon port, also falls under same umbrella)

But I think it is interesting and useful to detach from that specific label with all connotations, and treat it for a moment as just regular english phrase.

So we can analyse the wider pattern, see why it is deemed flawed, whether it is a binary choice or a spectrum.

(Notable thing to frame the analysis: hacker does not attack RSA, hacker will hack certain implementation of SSH server and use heartblead-v2 to sidestep RSA completely)
