| * | Some people still argue that rand(3) and random(3) have suitable deterministic | deraadt | 2021-02-12 | 1 | -2/+5 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | use cases, so explain the situation a bit more. Since the 80's, I estimate around 5 algorithm changes, so any chosen seed is unrepeatable UB. +The deterministic sequence algorithm changed a number of times since +original development, is underspecified, and should not be relied upon to +remain consistent between platforms and over time. ok jmc kettenis | ||||

| * | Change rand(), random(), drand48(), lrand48(), mrand48(), and srand48() | deraadt | 2014-12-08 | 1 | -54/+56 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to returning strong random by default, source from arc4random(3). Parameters to the seeding functions are ignored, and the subsystems remain in strong random mode. If you wish the standardized deterministic mode, call srand_deterministic(), srandom_determistic(), srand48_deterministic(), seed48_deterministic() or lcong48_deterministic() instead. The re-entrant functions rand_r(), erand48(), nrand48(), jrand48() are unaffected by this change and remain in deterministic mode (for now). Verified as a good roadmap forward by auditing 8800 pieces of software. Roughly 60 pieces of software will need adaptation to request the deterministic mode. Violates POSIX and C89, which violate best practice in this century. ok guenther tedu millert | ||||
| * | Don't describe random() as "better". | millert | 2014-11-25 | 1 | -5/+5 |
| | | | | | | Remove the bug about rand() being faster. Add a bug about historical implementations seeding very poorly. | ||||

| * | it is 2014, and we still need to encourage people away from srand() | deraadt | 2014-07-17 | 1 | -2/+8 |

| * | Use sysctl(KERN_ARND) to get n bytes, instead of just 4 at a time | otto | 2005-11-30 | 1 | -4/+3 |
| | | | | | | | | and remove fallback code. If somebody is dumb enough to make the sysctl fail using systrace, he deserves what he gets. Saves 7 syscalls on process startup. looks good miod@ ok deraadt@ tedu@ | ||||
