MachineID for Rust - Like .Net DeviceId

This Rust package is inspired by DeviceId, a .Net package to build a unique Machine ID.

Features

• 3 Different types of hash (MD5, SHA1, SHA256)
• Different components to make the ID
• Support for Windows, Linux and MacOS
• No Admin privileges are required

How to use

First add this to your Cargo.toml file

[dependencies]
machineid-rs = "1.2.4"

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();

Todo

• Optimize the code
• Fix bugs and increase platform integration/stability
