1 Hi all,
2
3 a longer time ago, there were some concerns about privacy reasons
4 discussed here. It took a long time, but there is now a new version
5 released with lot's of changes. Since all results are still by default
6 uploaded, It should be noted, that hw-probeuploads a 32-byte prefix of
7 salted SHA512 hash of MAC addresses and serial numbers to properly
8 identify unique computers and hard drives. Here is one example report of
9 one of my devices https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=6bc7d86b9c. FWICS,
10 sensetive informtion seems not to be present. I would like to gather
11 some opinion about here, if there are any objections about adding
12 hw-probe to Gentoo.

14 Cheers, Conrad
