Funny you should mention it...
Anyone know how can I read the PIII CPU id from within Linux?
I'm at this very moment working on porting a security application to Linux. I
need to be able to access as much information as possible to identify the
environment, and the CPU id would be a great advantage to be able to tell the
bad guys from the good guys.
It's a two-edged sword, Derek. How do *YOU* know who your friends are? How
do you know that letter or email came from the purported source? (Or even
that voice phone-mail, given slick enough technology)? For that matter, how
does NASDAQ or the DoD or Ma Bell know what machine is sending that system
admin command to some critical firewall or router? Anonymity is a two-edged
sword too, you can't tell friend from foe with perfect anonymity. Be careful
what you wish for....
