Poc-Exploit-Prediciting-CPP-srand-and-rand
Project status: UnknownThis repository demonstrates how the C++ rand() function is predictable when seeded with srand(time(nullptr)). Using the Linear Congruential Generator (LCG), an attacker can reverse-engineer and predict future random numbers, leading to serious security risks.
