'old' vs 'modern':

I run a search engine. It is big enough that it needs drives, caches, firewalls, VMs etc.

The front end is php. No classes, no phpadmin, etc. Just pure vanilla php.

Sometimes I tail /var access logs. People try all kinds of urls routinely fishing for weaknesses.

It's 2017. It is slow to code and keep the attack surface that minimal.

0 intrusions so far.
