This is a nice addendum to the "Let Us Identify Your Stack" style web services tho I guess some of them might already provide this. It does have the somewhat negative effect of making potentially vulnerable websites more visible to lower order hackers (I'm assuming more proficient ones have automated discovery tools like this anyway).

Finally, a place that can gather IP addresses and associate them to specific security products to have them hacked later. Just what I've been waiting for.

It's not even that. There's no obscurity here. This is security by pretending.
