Why give a weird name to a download page

[interlinkusa1]

In one of your videos it says that the protected download page should be given a weird name to disguise it so no one can guess that it is a download page. I am wondering as to why would it be necessary to do this as the page is protected and no one can access it without logging in??

Why invite trouble? “Security by obfuscation” is an optional “icing on the cake” measure to prevent guessing.

You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to (its just an optional step). More details on this here:

Thank you for enlightening me on the subject of security. It does make sense. Now I have more homework to do.

Thanks again.
