The companion post, I Went To SQL Injection Court, goes into detail about the court process and witness testimony. One of the interesting things is just how different computer people think about security vs lawyers. Somebody might say that having a schema would help a malicious actor a small amount, and a lawyer will jump on that to deny the request. The idea that the schema would help a malicious actor is the same as a map helping a bank robber. The vault security and security guards are the relevant factors for this, not the map.
I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’m an expert witness in a computer case (based on this, I hope I’m not.)
I would say it helps more than zero but if you redact or rename tables and columns it becomes next to useless for attack planning.
