    Follow /dev/random by using the following command:

    cat /dev/random | od

    Octal dump is a hex viewer for the command line which will stop the binary output from /dev/random from screwing up your terminal. The tty can be reset by running "stty sane".

    Notice how the random device only outputs data when the mouse is moving.
