Hi,

I'm testing a program and I need you assistance.

Please unzip the file at http://www.biz-mu.com/PCID.zip and run the program. It will display an ID, please mail me back the ID.

If you can use it on several computers, it will be even better for me, I need to have as much results as possible.

The program i'm testing is supposed to create a unique ID for each PC, this is why I need to test if it is really unique.

This file is virus free and cannot do any harm to your PC. It is however a voluntary testing.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Please supply a Linux version of your virus so I can test.

Hi Arthur,

Could you please tell this guy that it was not a virus and you tested it without any problem?

Thanks.

Sorry, you can't prove uniqueness by running it against a hundred
thousand, million, or even a billion computers. (The billionth-and-first
computer could be the one with the non-unique ID.) You need a
mathematical proof to prove uniqueness.

Your best bet would be to use a UUID:

SELECT UUID();
+--------------------------------------+
| uuid() |
+--------------------------------------+
| c712dc72-718d-102b-b3c8-97395a1766b9 |
+--------------------------------------+

There are equivalents in various programming languages, although not in PHP.

I tested the program before running it and it is virus-clean. I ran it
through AVG first and it's clean. I ran it in Windows. I don't know whether
there is a Linux version.

One guy that is brave/crazy/stupid enough to run a binary on his machine
that didn't have anything bad happen to him does not make it safe or a good
idea for the rest of us. And for all we know, you could have two email
accounts just to trick the rest of us into running your
trojan/keylogger/virus/botnet/whatever.

Not a chance.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the tip.

What is UUID look for? is it an ID associated with the motherboard, CPU,
harddisk?

Thanks.

Velen

I suggest you check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID. It seems to have
a pretty current, but not overwhelming, explanation. Originally the starting
point for a UUID was the MAC (hardware) address of the network interface.
Theoretically, there should only be one device with any particular MAC
address in the whole world. There are exceptions, but they would be
mistakes.

For your purposes, you can assume that it is a unique string of 32
hexadecimal digits.
