I'm curious to what degree people have used serial
number
intelligence gathering and countermeasures in the industry. Like
were/are there market research firms that would go to Fry's and
record numbers off of boxes to try to extrapolate sales for things
like printer consumables, and whether companies like HP ever took
measures to try to obfuscate the potential information content of
their product serial numbers.
