PsdUtilities.HwidBuilder

How to use?

var result = HwidBuilder.Create()
  .AddCpuIdentifier()
  .AddGpuIdentifier()
  .Build();

var bytes = result.DefaultHash();

How to add custom identifiers if the built-in ones are insufficient

Case 1

public sealed class MyCustomIdentifier : IHwidIdentifier
{
    public string ComponentName => "MyCustomComponentName";

    public string?[] GetIds()
    {
      // custom logic of obtaining ids/serial numbers
      // a collection, because you might have multiple hardwares, alike the case of HDD/SSD, GPU and CPU
    }
}

var identifier = new MyCustomIdentifier();

var result = HwidBuilder.Create()
    .AddCustomIdentifier(identifier)
    .Build();

// OR

var result = HwidBuilder.Create()
    .AddCustomIdentifier<MyCustomIdentifier>() // where MyCustomIdentifier must have an empty constructor
    .Build();

Case 2

Need the shared WMI manager? here is the solution:
public sealed class MyCustomIdentifier : IHwidIdentifier
{
    private readonly IWmiManager _wmiManager;

    public MyCustomIdentifier(IWmiManager manager)
    {
      _wmiManager = manager;
    }

    public string ComponentName => "MyCustomComponentName";

    public string?[] GetIds()
    {
      // do something with the manager
    }
}

var result = HwidBuilder.Create()
    .AddCustomIdentifier<MyCustomIdentifier>(manager => new MyCustomIdentifier(manager)) // manager is being provided through the delegate object
    .Build();

How to hash

Use library's interface to create your own hasher, or use the default one, which is based on BCrypt-Next
var defaultHasher = new DefaultHwidHasher();
var hash = defaultHasher.ComputeHash(hwid);
var hashString = DefaultHwidHasher.DefaultEncoding.GetString(hash);
var isEqual = defaultHasher.VerifyHash(hwid, hash);

Console.WriteLine($"""
    Hash: {hashString}
    Is Equal: {isEqual}
    """);
