If everyone's done with their armchair theorizing about why the feature isn't just pointless obfuscation for distributions and doesn't provide a false sense of security due to its complete lack of qualifications for efficacy, I'd like to point out the existence of https://github.com/jonoberheide/ksymhunter since 2011. The thing about techniques like these is they only have to be written once.
