FWIW, it's also a problem for proprietary applications since the secret
will necessarily be somewhere inside the executable as well.  It's a bit
harder to find, and can be obfuscated to some extent, but as long as you
can run the code inside a debugger and you have enough time on your
hands to reverse engineer the workings of that part of the code you can
also extract the application ID.
