If you wanted to go full retard, you could figure out some way
to randomize this even further; e.g., randomly sort the lines
prior to writing them to /dev/random

and if you wanted full retard to go full retard, you could use
openssl from the newly-installed /mnt to encrypt the sorted lines
with a randomly-generated key

at that point, an adversary who'd been able to snoop on the
entire exchange would have a much harder time determining
the state of your machine

just thinking out loud, really :)
