There is no method on NT to support the Heap walking functions, and
functions such as GetCursorInfo() were only added at SP4 or SP5.
But once again Peter Gutmann tells us what to do. On NT he suggests
using the NetAPI32 library.
LPBYTE outbuf;
if (NetStatisticsGet( NULL, SERVICE_WORKSTATION, 0, 0, &outbuf) == 0) {
RAND_add( outbuf, sizeof(STAT_WORKSTATION_0), 0);
NetApiBufferFree(outbuf);
}
if (NetStatisticsGet( NULL, SERVICE_SERVER, 0, 0, &outbuf) == 0) {
RAND_add( outbuf, sizeof(STAT_SERVER_0), 0);
NetApiBufferFree(outbuf);
}
and reading system performance statistics from the registry.
ReqQueryValueEx( HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA, "Global", NULL, NULL,
buffer, &length);
RAND_add( buffer, length, 0);
