Post by ProMan »

Hii,
I'm trying to change Virtualbox Gaphics adapter product name and vendor name and decorations, showing in ubuntu vm with lshw command.
i did find in source code these keywords... after change those keywords... i did compile and run, then i see the vm is still showing original string
i did run linux command "sudo lshw"

there is some keywords the need to remove like ( "vboxvideo","vboxguest","VirtualBox graphics adapter",VirtualBox mouse integration" )

If you succeed then the graphics card will not be recognized and you'll need to write your own graphics drivers.

It may be simpler and cheaper to buy a legal license for whatever software you're trying to fool: you can't hide the fact that a VM is a VM.
