The fact that Intel Bull Mountain (code name for Secure Key Technology), and NSA's BULLRUN program share the name "bull" is a complete coincidence. I'm sure.

You know there are people who actually reason this way.

  • On many systems like Raspberry Pi the <v5.6 kernel /dev/random or /dev/urandom lacked sufficient entropy to properly deploy wifi hostapd WPA2/WPA3 services.

    Instead, people used haveged to workaround the issue. Not a conspiracy by some dude, but rather just more budget hardware limitations.

    Don't worry about it, there are lots of real dubious things people do already. =3
