Comment (by iandunn):

 `rand()` [https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php  doesn't
 generate cryptographically secure random numbers]; would it be better to
 do something like `$obscura = wp_generate_password( 32, false, false )` ?

 That relies on [https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.random-int.php
 random_int()], which is a CSPRNG. You could also use `wp_rand()` directly,
 but `wp_generate_password()` seems more convenient in this case, because
 you can request the desired length, and it adds alpha characters.

 I'm thinking `( 32, false, false )` to match the string length of `md5()`,
 and to avoid characters that aren't valid/readable URLs.
