What is random.org?

Random.org is an online service that provides true randomness to its users. It was launched in 1998 and has since gained a considerable following due to its ability to generate random numbers, strings, selections, and more. The service offers a suite of tools for developers and non-developers alike, making it a go-to choice when it comes to generating seemingly-random data.

At its most basic level, Random.org offers random number generators (RNGs). This allows users to generate random numbers between any two ranges they specify. For example, they can create a generator that produces random integers between 1 and 10 or 0 and 1 million. Additionally, the RNGs offer an "integer sets" feature which allows users to enter a list of pre-defined values from which the generator will select randomly.

Beyond the classic RNGs, Random.org provides many other features useful for both developers and non-developers alike. For instance, users can create "string generators" which produce seemingly-random strings of text such as passwords or keywords for use in webpages or applications. On top of this, Random.org also allows users to select one or more items from a given list at random using what's called the "selection tool" - perfect for games!

For developers working on applications or websites involving transactions - those that require certainty that no sequence is deliberately repeated - Random.org provides "sequence generators" which create finite sequences of unique integers within certain parameters that never repeat themselves when changing the parameters (i.e., starting points). This is currently used by some lottery sites across the globe as well as other cryptography applications where data privacy needs to be maintained at all costs!
