New private key generation

[BitcoinTip]

I am interested on one aspect of the regular qt client: private key generation.

Where can I find the code responsible for this? I am assuming some form of random number generation is done here.

I intend to research into the function used and look for patterns.

Perhaps a more reliable means than pure brute force could be designed to harvest private keys.
