Hi 2 all. My question is: how i can mask my CPU information. Cuz all can see it. Its not SAFE. And why VB can mask other information BUT CPUinfo CANT?

What makes you think this is unsafe?
You give the permission for others to use VirtualBox or not. If you don't trust them then don't allow them to use it.

A new day, a new useless post from that guy.

Can you please explain what exactly is not safe about seeing a CPU make and model? Because, you're not the only one that is using that specific CPU, you know. I, for example, am using "Intel Core i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz". Am I in danger?

i see some numbers when i run virtualbox. can u tell me wtf is this?


i use linux. so when i run @lshw@ i see this

product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz
vendor: Intel Corp.
physical id: 4
bus info: cpu@0
version: 6.5.2
serial: 0002-0652-0000-0000-0000-0000 (( WTF IS THIS????????)))
slot: LGA1156
size: 3066MHz
capacity: 3800MHz
width: 64 bits
clock: 133MHz

this numbers is not my real serial CPU. i asked on intel support. so wtf is this?

Can you provide the documentation where this is actually stated to be a fact ( unsafe )? Or is this just your opinion?

i have some strange numbers. why? do u have the same?

Some information is always show because VirtualBox is a simulator and not an emulator. Not all functions of the host CPU are passed to the guest and is normal.
If this is not to your liking then you should use an emulator and not VirtualBox. Be aware that emulators are extremely slow but that is your choice.

Oh and grow up! All the "WTF" is going to get your posts ignored.

so this numbers only i see?

What's the problem if anyone see the serialnumber of the cpu?
And if you don't want to see the cpu serial numer, you have to disable that in the bios of your host system!

if you are more versed in this , you would know that the processor serial number marked on the iron(processor) and i cant see it in any programm.
