privacy - How easy is it for a GUID you generate to identify you? -


i hear creator of melissa worm convicted based on fact guids generated linked mac address of computer used.

how hard this? , data need other guid? mac address or time created?

that relates specific version 1 uuid included in office document contained macro virus, becuse came uuidcreate/sequential did contain mac info;

for security reasons, uuidcreate modified no longer uses machine's mac address generate uuids. uuidcreatesequential introduced allow creation of uuids using mac address of machine's ethernet card.
