Ok, lets try simple compression. will it find enough pattern to do
compression?
Here what i get on my system:
output from /dev/random
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lex lex 2501678 Jul 27 12:01 random.out
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lex lex 2512892 Jul 27 12:01 random.out.bz2

after compression we got bigger file. i would expect it since we need to
store bzip header somewhere.

output from /dev/hwrng
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lex lex 2564096 Jul 27 11:36 hwrng.out
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lex lex 2468394 Jul 27 11:36 hwrng.out.bz2

Do i understand it correctly, in case of hwrng bzip was able to find
enough pattern to compressed the data? Even with format overhead?

I'm no an expert, help of an expert would be welcome, added some more
people to CC
