golang get hardware info (uuid/hwid)

Question

I am trying get a unique hardware info such as the uuid of a device for a client based application that will have an authentication process.

In python it would be something like:

import subprocess

hwid = str(subprocess.check_output('wmic csproduct get uuid')).split('\\r\\n')[1].strip('\\r').strip()

print(hwid)

Ouput:

9F23624C-33F1-3244-A2ZD-ABF6CC8E5FB5

How do can I replicate this function in go, and assign it to a variable ? uuid := xxx

Answer 1

I found a solution using, os/exec:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "fmt"
    "os/exec"
)

func main() {

    const xx = "cmd.exe"

    var stdout bytes.Buffer
    cmd := exec.Command(xx, "/c", "wmic csproduct get uuid")
    cmd.Stdout = &stdout
    cmd.Run()

    out := stdout.String()

    fmt.Println(out)

}

Output:

UUID
9F23624C-33F1-3244-A2ZD-ABF6CC8E5FB5
