NAME krandom - Keccak-based userspace pseudorandom number generator SYNOPSIS krandom [-C capacity] [-N output-size] [-R rate] [-S state-size] [-W word-size] [-v] DESCRIPTION krandom create a Keccak sponge with a random state and continually squeezes it to generate pseudorandom binary data. Like yes(1), krandom will automatically pause soon after the other end of the standard output pipe stops reading and will terminate with no process reading at the other end of the standard output pipe anymore. With the default parameters, krandom is about twice as fast as Linux's /dev/urandom. And it's tunable! OPTIONS The following options are supported: -C capacity Select Keccak capacity. -R rate Select Keccak rate. -N output-size Select Keccak output size. This is the size of a squeezed block, the total output is unlimited. -S state-size Select Keccak state size. -W state-size Select Keccak word size. -v Print extra information. NOTES krandom is a terrible entropy-generator. Good ways to generate entropy include: typing randomly in the terminal, moving the rat pointer around erratically, running ping, listening to music, and watching videos.
