Proof-of-Concept Attacks

The following attacks utilize a random number generator based on the algorithm by G. Marsaglia at FSU. More information on this RNG can be found at http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/analysis/random/.

Download - random.cpp

To compile:

g++ randomlib.cpp -o randomlib.o --shared

Most of the attacks listed here should link with randomlib.o .
