Re: XSPLIT now own ftp.wimsey.bc.ca
: XSPLIT takes a file, generates n-1 random numbers, writes those random numbers : out to each of the n-1 files, and for the nth file it takes the XOR of all N : random numbers, and XORs it with the plaintext. This way, you get to split : your file in such a way as to require all pieces of it in order to rebuild it. Where do you get your random numbers? (This could be susceptible to the usual PRNG reverse-engineering techniques...) G PS I know I should fetch it and look for myself, but I'm fighting alligators here again.

Normally from lrand() or whatever. This is of course weak, but there are hooks for plugging in a hardware random number generator via a device driver. It can also take a file of random numbers and use that. Eventually when I come across some BBS sources I may plug those into XSPLIT and WNSTORM which uses the same random grabber functions.
