Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package dieharder, which is
part of the devel section, and maintained by Dirk Eddelbuettel
<edd at debian.org>. 

This package contains : Random-number generator test front-end.

dieharder is a fairly involved random number/uniform deviate generator
tester.  It can either test any of its many prebuilt and linked
generators (basically all of those in the Gnu Scientific Library plus
any others I've been able to find) or a potentially random dataset in a
file.  With file input, it can test either N-bit bitstrings (with N user
specifiable) or (double precision) floating point numbers in the range
[0.0,1.0) (uniform deviates).  It is thus suitable for use in testing
both software RNG's and hardware RNG's.

This package provides the command-line frontend.
