That's not true. Not publishing a URL can be quite secure.... If you're using a web server, people will be knocking on your server port within hours. In the 90s you could put a server up and no one tried for weeks, after 2001 it was less then 8 hours and now about 2-4 hours. If you use https with your own certificates, you may have a chance. But, that's a lot of work! Further, on the "...script run unless a certain param is passed...", that param had better change every few minutes, or you'll find someone harvesting your information. A recent study of victims of on-line theft stated that 95% of them thought they didn't have anything to steal on their PC. Now add a web server! Go with security first!
