Detect common Computer Name and change it if necessary #24

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

Hello,

Apple commonly use your computer model and session name (like "Macbook's of Thea" or "iMac's of Oliver") to propagate itself in the network and this is bad for privacy.

To remediate this, you could make a regexp to detect this common name and replace it with randomized alphanumeric characters from /dev/random.
