CyoRand

A free Windows console program for generating random bytes from a computer`s sound card. usage Either use the precompiled executable or compile the source code. In a Command Prompt window, change to the directory containing the executable. Issue a command of the following format: CYORAND path inputFiles midFiles seconds [/LIST] Parameters: * path - Specifies the output path (eg. "C:RandomData"); * inputFiles - The number of input files that are merged into a mid (intermediate) file; * midFiles - The number of intermediate files that are merged into the single output file; * seconds - The length of each recorded file; * /LIST - Displays the Frequency of all bytes (optional switch). example CYORAND C:RandomData 3 3 600 This records 9 files (3 intermediate files, each having 3 input files) of 600 seconds each. The output file is 6,615,000 bytes in size. (600 seconds * 44,100 samples/second * 2 channels * 2 bytes/sample / 16. Note that the divide by 16 is because we`re only using one bit of each 16-bit sample.) Recording won`t be quick; in FACT it`ll take 90 minutes! (9 files * 600 seconds = 5400 seconds = 90 minutes.) The good news is that it uses very Little CPU power, so you can leave it running in the background.
