Could this be another attempt to get more UUIDs? Why should I trust this link?

  That's a good point. Gotta trust someone, kimosabe! This is me: http://linkedin.com/in/bbunix http://linkedin.com/in/bbunix, and no I don't want UDIDs.

    There are ways to do this securely, like client side hashing, that are worth learning and showing off to make you a better web developer and set a good example for others. Yo have a chance to learn and teach here.

  What can he do with just a UUID? Really, i don't know...
• jared314 14y ago
  They could asked for a hash of the device uuid. That would be safer, but you would still have to visit the site. With that request they could match ip, browser info, and device uuid. Perhaps, it could be put entirely into javascript.

    Entering 40 characters is hard enough by itself. Tell the average user to send an MD5 hash over... if you care that much you do what I did initally, download it, unpack it, and grep.

      I was trying to avoid the "Receipt of stolen property" issue, while maintaining personal privacy. Usability was lower on my list of concerns.

  If you want to lookup your UDID but afraid to expose it, use partial search at http://pastehtml.com/udid http://pastehtml.com/udid

    Ah, many thanks, that's a much nicer system. No need to trust anything. Have you considered submitting it?
