I would like to know the formulae used by the random number generator of Free Pascal, especially for using this algorithm in cryptanalysis.

Here is a 'better' random no. generator, converted for fpc, based on the 'mersenne twister'. We intend/hope to use in fpc at some point...look up the references in the code for info about it, why it's better etc
