Status page - Internal Serial Number

Post by jenskastensson »

Hi,

a few questions regarding the "Internal Serial Number" visible on the Status page Status tab:

1. how can the "Internal Serial Number" be accessed programmatically?
2. is it related to "Serial" in /proc/cpuinfo
3. is the "Internal Serial Number" immutable and stored in read-only memory (i.e. can it be used to detect if it is a software is running in a cloned image)

Thanks in advance

This serial number is hardware based (comes from crypto chip) and can't be manipulated. The web page uses a command which you also can use for your purposes:
piSerial
