Easy fix - use gettimeofday() to get the microseconds field and use that as the seed. So then even if you can see the file timestamp you'll have a million different possibly keys. Hardly impossible to solve but beyond most users. Or if they wanted to be really sneaky do some system op which will never take exactly the same number of microseconds to accomplish and use this further time interval as extra noise for the key.
