Random-number device replacement can be tested through a DKMS kernel module that hooks into `/dev/urandom` and `/dev/random`. The Git package installs the `srandom` helper, DKMS sources, udev rules, and a modules-load configuration for boot-time loading. It changes a security-sensitive kernel interface, so only administrators who understand the entropy design should enable it.
