GeorgeArgyros / mt_derand

Although the Mersenne Twister PRNG is by design not cryptographically secure many applications tend to use it for cryptographic operations. The mt_derand project provides code to invert the Mersenne Twister generator and obtain its internal state which in turn can be used to predict all future outputs of the generator.
