Googlebot 的 Math.random()

Hacker News Daily 上看到「Googlebot’s Javascript random() function is deterministic」這則有趣的發現。作者發現 Googlebot 的 Math.random() 並不隨機,甚至是固定的:

The first time Googlebot calls Math.random() the result will always be 0.14881141134537756, the second call will always be 0.19426893815398216. The script I linked to above simply uses this fact but obfuscates it a little and ‘seed’ it with something that doesn’t look too arbitrary.

需要無法預測的 random number (有安全性需求的) 應該用 RandomSource.getRandomValues() 這類函數,而不是用 Math.random(),所以這點倒是還好...
