Reading what's at the first link alone should discourage you. :-)

As Kirk indicated, it's basically not possible for any decent random
number generator.  The fourth link has some pointers on doing it
for poor generators (such as the traditional linear congruential one)
by doing things like high dimensional graphing and finding lattice
structures (to paraphrase that page).

This is the sort of stuff where one should go to university and then
look into as part of one's PhD thesis...
