gethwid(): string

Aliases

None.

Arguments

This function takes no arguments.

Returns

string

A 64-character uppercase hexadecimal SHA-256 digest, or the literal “cheater” when Windows hardware-profile lookup fails.

Takes no arguments. On success, returns a 64-character uppercase hexadecimal SHA-256 digest of the native hardware-profile GUID buffer. Returns the literal string “cheater” if GetCurrentHwProfileA fails. This is a hardware-profile-derived identifier, not a direct disk, CPU, or motherboard serial number.

Example

local id = gethwid()
if id == "cheater" then
    warn("Windows hardware-profile lookup failed")
else
    print("HWID:", id)
end
