-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think the "wheel" in this context refers to exploit code, not PRNG code. Generating pseudo-random numbers isn't hard given a good API, but writing that API is non-trivial (assuming you want high entropy/low predictability). And, apparently, screwing up that API is also very easy. - - G - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Skratz0r" <roryflyguy () googlemail com> To: "nicolas vigier" <boklm () mars-attacks org> Cc: <full-disclosure () lists grok org uk> Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 7:50 AM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Working exploit for Debian generated SSH Keys
_>#1: It cant be that hard to generate random numbers. #2: It's hardly the wheel. #3: Again, pointless arguments.
