| | [AI summary] The article discusses the use of /dev/random and /dev/urandom in Linux systems for generating random numbers. It highlights that /dev/urandom is generally preferred over /dev/random due to its non-blocking nature and sufficient cryptographic security. The article also addresses misconceptions in the man pages and emphasizes that /dev/urandom is safe for most applications, including cryptographic uses, as long as the initial seeding is done properly. It mentions that while /dev/random is considered a legacy interface, it's not always necessary, and modern Linux distributions and syscalls like getrandom(2) provide better alternatives.
