  2. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    Then 6 or 7 bits are replaced by fixed values, the 4-bit version (e.g. 0011 2 for version 3), and the 2- or 3-bit UUID "variant" (e.g. 10 2 indicating a RFC 9562 UUIDs, or 110 2 indicating a legacy Microsoft GUID). Since 6 or 7 bits are thus predetermined, only 121 or 122 bits contribute to the uniqueness of the UUID.

  3. User identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_identifier

    On FreeBSD, porters who need a UID for their package can pick a free one from the range 50 to 999 and then register the static allocation. [6] [7] Some POSIX systems allocate UIDs for new users starting from 500 (macOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux till version 6), others start at 1000 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux since version 7, [8] openSUSE, Debian ...

  4. RDRAND - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RdRand

    An astrophysical Monte Carlo simulator examined the time to generate 10 7 64-bit random numbers using RDRAND on a quad-core Intel i7-3740 QM processor. They found that a C implementation of RDRAND ran about 2× slower than the default random number generator in C, and about 20× slower than the Mersenne Twister.

  5. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    It can be shown that if is a pseudo-random number generator for the uniform distribution on (,) and if is the CDF of some given probability distribution , then is a pseudo-random number generator for , where : (,) is the percentile of , i.e. ():= {: ()}. Intuitively, an arbitrary distribution can be simulated from a simulation of the standard ...

  6. Random number generator attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generator_attack

    Cryptographic attacks that subvert or exploit weaknesses in this process are known as random number generator attacks. A high quality random number generation (RNG) process is almost always required for security, and lack of quality generally provides attack vulnerabilities and so leads to lack of security, even to complete compromise, in ...

    When creating an app password, use a browser that you've used to sign into AOL Mail for several days in a row and avoid using Incognito mode.If this isn’t successful, use webmail or the official AOL App to access your email.

  8. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

  9. Packet generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_generator

    A packet generator or packet builder is a type of software that generates random packets or allows the user to construct detailed custom packets. Depending on the network medium and operating system, packet generators utilize raw sockets , NDIS function calls, or direct access to the network adapter kernel-mode driver .
