_Essentially_, you have a random string of text. Mind you, it's not statistically, nor cryptographically, random, but it's something that no PERSON would guess. If you are trying to get something to keep PEOPLE out, you've picked a nice one. If, OTOH, you're trying to get something to keep HACKERS/MACHINES out, you've got a somewhat time consuming one.
