We're looking for C/C++ sample code which can access the host environment from inside an instance of VMWare or Virtual PC.
The idea here is we need a piece of information that will identify the host, or a multiple pieces of information that when combined can identify a given host.
Plausibily items like hardware information would be ideal, but anything that is not easily configured would work.
Here are the things we can do already:
1) Detect that we are in a Virtual PC or VMWare instance using ASM code.
2) Get access to the CPU Details of the machine via the CIM/WMI calls. These return to us the CPU model and ID, but if two computers have the same CPU they are the same.
The issue we have now is we'd like to get access to another piece of information to use in combination with the CIM/WMI CPU information, so that there is a better indication of which host our VM instance is running on.
Bonuses for time and thoroughness.
Thanks!
