Also might open up a new DoS vector on entropy consumed by /dev/random so it can be worse than 1:1.

- gkbrk 1y agoEntropy doesn't really get "consumed" on modern systems. You can read terabytes from /dev/random without running out of anything.
- jabl 1y agoAs mentioned, not really an issue on a modern system. But in any case, you could just read, say, 1K from /dev/urandom into a buffer and then keep resending that buffer over and over again?
