You have disabled this option in your kernel haven't you user?

bro that's kinda CRNG

>noooo you can't use the rdrand instruction it's unsecure!!!
Holy fuck imagine being this much of a luddite.
Noah Reed
Hi NSA.
Xavier Torres
Okay then tell me how a fucking machine instruction is "unsecure".
Julian King
It's completely irrelevant, since Linux mixes together several different random sources, so even if RDRAND is compromised it doesn't matter.
The option is there for retards who don't understand the above, but feel more secure if they get to toggle a switch or two to dissolve their autism a bit.
Jose Long
Sandy bridge doesn't have that one, I think
Gabriel Cox
Also you the value you can get back from rdrand can be changed by xor'ing it with some other value, or doing some other arithmetic on it, so any complaints about it being insecure is a moot point anyway. Most people aren't going to be using it for cryptography anyway, but more for random user applications and games, so yet again it's a moot point.
Sebastian Morris
You know what, you're right and furthermore there is no such thing security at all.

Jason Evans
NSA or similar puts backdoor in place which allows them to make the "random" part not random.

If you bother watching the video, at the very beginning the guy points out this isn't a thing unique to Intel, but lots of other manufacturers also have backdoors/bugs/vulnerabilities. Literally the only processor you'll find that doesn't have those, would be one you personally design. Plus the video isn't really about backdoors, just undocumented instructions.
>bro if you use undocumented instructions BAD THINGS HAPPEN
No shit you brainlets, they're undocumented for a reason. It's like using the alpha version of some software suite and then complaining when the crap breaks on you for doing something it wasn't expecting.
Aiden Peterson
Uninformed or shill. RDRAND in at least some real world processors is confirmed busted: phoronix.com
David Harris
You shouldn't be using CRNG where CSPRNG is required.
Brayden Lewis
First thing I do on an install
Ayden Smith
Prove it's actually random

>only affects AMD processors
>MIGHT happen if you suspend and restart the computer
>only happens on old processors
Wow damn I'm totally BTFO'd, I just don't know what to do with my life now.
I use it all the time, it's random enough for me.
Caleb Hughes
>I use it all the time, it's random enough for me.
The problem is if it's used for encryption or similar security, it's "randomness" might be predetermined and thus exploitable by someone who knows the pattern to the "randomness"
Benjamin Taylor
WWTD?
(what would terry do?)
Nathaniel Bailey
see You're retarded if you use this for encryption. Literally neck yourself and never make security software.
