I'm just curious. Isn't it a technical violation of US law/DMCA to

I don't think that has ever been decided in court one way or another. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
It has. It's illegal if you knowingly do so for the purpose of disseminating the circumvention device.
The next important question then, I think, is would Wikipedia liable legally if they served a DMCA takedown, and we did take it down? If the answer is Yes, we'd be legally safe, then perhaps mentioning the string itself isn't a risk. Maybe. Beyond that, the liability for posting/reposting would fall to users and IPs that posted it?
