/dev/keymash

Finally, it is here: The gay keymash device driver! It provides an endless supply of lowercase characters from the QWERTY home row in a cryptographically secure random order¹.

¹ Do not actually use this as a source for randomness, at least not for crypto purposes.

IMPORTANT!

The license already disclaims any warranty, but i would like to make it crystal clear that i literally have no idea how to use a computer. Assume this module will completely brick your system.

Building

You only need the linux headers for your current kernel in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build. If you install the linux-headers package (or something with similar name), you should be good. Just type

make
sudo insmod keymash.ko

to compile and load the module. If you have DKMS, you can also use that:

sudo dkms install .
sudo modprobe keymash

Loading the module will create the file /dev/keymash, which you can use for all sorts of stuff:

# print a keymash to the console
head -c20 /dev/keymash

# wipe your root partition and leave a message for the FBI
# (this won't ask for confirmation, don't do this)
sudo dd if=/dev/keymash of=$(mount | grep '/ ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1) bs=1M

# react to your girlfriend calling you cute
cat /dev/keymash | nc gay.wife 1337
