Vista activation cracked by brute force
Saturday, March 3rd, 2007
IT LOOKS LIKE Microsoft’s unhackable OS activation malware has been hacked. There is an active 
thread at the Keznews forums (account needed), and a summary on its main page about the crack. It is a simple brute force attack, dumb as a rock that just tries keys. If it gets one, you manually have to check it and try activation. Is is ugly, takes hours, is far from point and click, but it is said to work. I don’t have any Vista installs because of the anti-user licensing so I have not tested it personally.
The method of attack has got to be quite troubling for MS on many grounds…Vista activation cracked by brute force
