Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Ships only as a compiled executable from the releases section, no source code is included in the repo.
This repository contains a Windows utility written in C# that modifies hardware identifiers on a PC. Every Windows computer has unique identifier values tied to hardware components like the motherboard, storage drive, and network card. Some software reads these identifiers to recognize or track a specific machine. This tool changes those identifier values in the Windows registry and removes associated tracking files and cache logs, making the computer appear to be a different machine to external software. The features described in the README include a one-click process that changes hardware IDs, a cleaner that removes old registry entries and temporary files, and a network adapter reset that changes the MAC address and clears the DNS cache. The interface is described as aimed at everyday PC users with no technical background required. The README states the tool does not permanently alter hardware or core Windows files. Setup is described as simple: download an executable file from the releases section of the repository, run it with administrator privileges, click the main button, and restart the PC. The tool is listed as compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 on 64-bit systems with Intel or AMD processors. The actual application code is distributed as a compiled executable rather than as readable source code in the repository. The repository includes a disclaimer stating the tool is intended for privacy protection, educational use, and software testing only, and that the developers are not responsible for misuse or violations of third-party platform policies. There is no license file, no contribution guide, and no documentation beyond what the README describes.
