Run CWID.exe tool in offline/local mode

[vmr_]

Just wondering if the CWID.exe tool can be run in an offline/local mode to show the data - or to export the CPU data into a local file.

So far it doesn't seem to work without an active Internet connection

NOTE: I could try with a MITM proxy, but first want to check if the tool is designed with an offline mode to export CPU data into a local file

The CWID program only collects CPUID information and does not parse it. All processing is done on the server. To see what this program sends to the server please run it as:

CWID -d

When -d option is provided, the program prints collected data and quits without sending it. I hope it helps.

Answering my own question, I reckon 00040651 is the CPUID.

Now, is there a way to query CPU-world database for the CPUID?

Unfortunately, there is no way right now to query CPU-World database.

Or, is it possible to dump/submit the output from cwid.exe -d to cpu-world?

What I don't want is to have my old/retro builds with Win98/Win95/Win3/older connecting to Internet - for all the good reasons. Still, want to submit some of the data I come across when testing CPU's from the 90's...

MITM proxy doesn't show much to help me in this direction, time to move to wireshark
