Description
This is a perl program to collect entropy from a running Unix-like system, mostly through various stats calls (vmstat and friends). The output is hashed into a pool, stirred with an SHA1 hash, and used to provide (theoretically) high-quality random data to callers over a UNIX- or TCP- socket interface. This aims to provide functionality similar to the Linux /dev/random device, but implemented in a fairly-portable user-space daemon so that it can run on many unix-like systems. See the README for common usage details.
