Dead project ?

[AkechiShiro]

Hi, is this project still maintained, last commit was 6 months ago

[felixd]

Looks like.
Are you looking for something? ;)

[AkechiShiro]

Is there any @felixd other project in the same subject but actively maintained ? for a hardware TRNG ?

[felixd]

@AkechiShiro I haven't found one + this project seems to be best option to start with even though it's not "actively" maintained.

Everything is well described and documented.

What I am personally doing as well is using my CCTV cameras as another entropy source.
If You want to test it I can upload You some random data from it for evaluation.

Okay so this is what's best today as far as you know, it's okay, I was just wondering if you knew something else. Thanks for proposing but I was just curious

FWIW I ordered one from Leetronics a few days ago, I don't see what constant updates a TRNG would need.

@Strykar Did you get the hardware you ordered from Leetronics? I ask because I'm not getting any sort of status updates on my own order and it directly relates to whether or not the project is dead.

In any case, thanks for the link to awesome-hwrng.

@wil-langford Yes, I received mine a few days later from Germany than expected, but arrived within two weeks to Asia. You should get yours, might take longer is all.

Did you get yours eventually? I ordered over a month ago (within EU) and haven't heard anything, and nobody reply to status update enqueries.

I ordered it on March 27 and an envelope was delivered to Oregon, USA on April 25. I haven't bothered to open it yet as I no longer trust whatever is in there. If I need randomness I'll likely just make do with the built-in hardware options on some of my machines.

I don't understand why you're not trusting some thing you bought.

Edit : Ah because it stayed too much time being delivered ? Maybe ? Well if you can reflash the firmware or check the hashes it should be fine unless you're up against nation state attackers.

We're well outside the scope of this issue, but essentially you're correct about the delay suggesting tampering being the source of my (not entirely rational) hesitancy.
