Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-9581:
-------------------------------------------
It's transparently handled on Windows. See the linked code.

/*
92 * Try the URL specifying the source (e.g. file:/dev/random)
93 *
94 * The URLs "file:/dev/random" or "file:/dev/urandom" are used to
95 * indicate the SeedGenerator should use OS support, if available.

97 * On Windows, this causes the MS CryptoAPI seeder to be used.
98 *
99 * On Solaris/Linux/MacOS, this is identical to using
100 * URLSeedGenerator to read from /dev/[u]random

> We don't need secure random numbers (for unit tests) so waiting for entropy
> doesn't make much sense. Luckily Java makes it easy to point to /dev/urandom
> for entropy. It also transparently handles it correctly on Windows.
