This Rust package is inspired by DeviceId, a .Net package to build a unique Machine ID.
- 3 Different types of hash (MD5, SHA1, SHA256)
- Different components to make the ID
- Support for Windows and Linux
- No Admin privileges are required
First add this to your Cargo.toml file
[dependencies]
machineid-rs = "1.2.3"
Then, you need to define the builder variable with the encryption type you want.
For example, SHA256
use machineid_rs::{IdBuilder, Encryption};
// There are 3 different encryption types: MD5, SHA1 and SHA256.
let mut builder = IdBuilder::new(Encryption::SHA256);
After that, you just need to add the components you want the id to have.
The available components are:
-
System UUID: Unique identifier of your machine
-
CPU Cores: Number of physical cores from your computer
-
OS Name: Operative System name, i.e., linux/windows
-
Username: The username currently being used
-
Machine Name: The name of the machine
-
CPU ID: The serial number of the processor
-
Drive Serial : The serial number of the disk storing the OS.
For example, i will add the System UUID and CPU Cores
use machineid_rs::HWIDComponent;
builder.add_component(HWIDComponent::SystemID).add_component(HWIDComponent::CPUCores);
Once you are ready, you just need to build the id with your key
let hwid = builder.build("mykey").unwrap();
