| Beschreibung |
reseed is a perl script that retrieves a truly random seed from the Internet
(random.org) and uses it to reseed the linux random number generator.
.
On installation, 512 bytes of truly random data are retrieved and injected
into /dev/urandom. The entropy pool is then saved between reboots, and
can be reseeded from random.org by running the 'reseed' command.
.
Note that this is sent in the clear over the Internet so if an attacker could
see the data in transit then you're worse off than if you were to have left
Linux to generate the entropy pool itself.
