I just now discovered this. I think I will have a gander.

Wise choice. Debian is upstream of the lion's share of Linux desktop distros.

I like seeing cool things done with BASH. Hat tip to the Greek letters.

The only bogus thing here is your baseless insinuation and false comparison.

You are insinuating that MEGARAND is built upon Fortuna or a copycat thereof. That insinuation is false. By calling my work, 'bogus' you are casting a baseless barb, or a slander against my work.

You are attempting to dissuade readers from examining the work by labeling it with a negative label. And you are also attempting to promote Fortuna instead, when Fortuna has nothing to do with my work. Anyone taking your false comment at face value would be dissuaded from reading my work.

 

GOLDILOCKER Brain Wallet - Generate OpenSSL Goldilocks Elliptic Curve Keys from Seed Phrase

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/goldilocker

Goldilocker is a brain wallet application for generating ED448 encryption and signing keys via OpenSSL.

Encryption keys may be stored offline as a complex passphrase or a seed phrase generated from the BIP39 word list.

KSRNG - Key Strike Random Generator (version 0.0.1)

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/keystrike

KEYSTRIKE generates very, very random seeds that are truly random.

KEYSTRIKE uses /dev/urandom and several TRNG mixing techniques:

keystroke timestamps, doubling and shuffling, modulus and size
truncating.

The final output is a whitened, true random and pseudo-random mix.

MEGARAND Extreme Overkill Random Seed Generator

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/megarand

MEGARAND employs extreme overkill in the genration of a very large entropy pool. The output is extremely random as a result of several hashing, timestamping, shuffling, encrypting, and truncation techniques. MEGARAND is useful for generating large seed bases for key and passphrase material or for feeding to cryptographically secure PRNG software if high-speed outputs are required.

They are explicitly not running it via 9fans bridge. Access is via NNTP only.

Thunderbird sports a very mature NNTP interface if you have a newer computer. Claws-Mail also has a very good and fast NNTP interface, even on older computers. SLRN is available for a terminal-based interface.

Cryptologue Arcade - Crypto Darkpaper - Crypto Color Prints - Simplementation Scheme : A Color-Coded Method For Indexing Research and Documentation

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13149715

Crypto Color Prints are a memorable and data-dense documentation paradigm with a color-coded, structural scheme. The scheme forms a simple framework for publishing and improving primitives and protocols with a focus on both cooperation and implementation.

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.
