    Why not? Is that information considered sensitive? Personally I tend to avoid running untrustworthy programs outside of a sandbox or VM.

      Are you a believer in the idea “They who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear”? Hint: You shouldn’t be.

      And do you know for certain that your sandboxes and VMs don’t simply pass through the CPUID instruction? And if they don’t, do they rotate their fake CPUIDs? And how often does that happen?
