How To Install libmath-random-isaac-perl on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmath-random-isaac-perl on Kali Linux.

What is libmath-random-isaac-perl

libmath-random-isaac-perl is:

Math::Random::ISAAC implements the ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add and Count) pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) algorithm described on the project page at: URL:http://burtleburtle.net/bob/rand/isaac.html

As with other algorithms like the Mersenne Twister (see Math::Random::MT), this algorithm is designed to take some seed information and produce seemingly random results as output.

The results are uniformly distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you know the seed. The algorithm was published by Bob Jenkins in the late 1990s and despite the best efforts of many security researchers, no feasible attacks have been found to date.

For comparison with other algorithms intended to generate random data, the Mersenne Twister has a period of 2^19937-1, the related TT800 has a period of 2^800-1 values. ISAAC has a period of 2^8295 values on average.

There are three methods to install libmath-random-isaac-perl on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install libmath-random-isaac-perl Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libmath-random-isaac-perl using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libmath-random-isaac-perl

Install libmath-random-isaac-perl Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libmath-random-isaac-perl using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libmath-random-isaac-perl

Install libmath-random-isaac-perl Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install libmath-random-isaac-perl using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libmath-random-isaac-perl
