Vista : Security Broken Before Its Even Launched ?
« on: December 25, 2006, 04:40:37 pm »
As I made plain months ago, if you declare something is "hackerproof", your likely to end up looking like you dont know what your talking about.

Microsoft is facing an early crisis of confidence in the quality of its Windows Vista operating system as computer security researchers and hackers have begun to find potentially serious flaws in the system that was released to corporate customers late last month.

On Dec. 15, a Russian programmer posted a description of a flaw that makes it possible to increase a user’s privileges on all of the company’s recent operating systems, including Vista. And over the weekend a Silicon Valley computer security firm said it had notified Microsoft that it had also found that flaw, as well as five other vulnerabilities, including one serious error in the software code underlying the company’s new Internet Explorer 7 browser.

The browser flaw is particularly troubling because it potentially means that Web users could become infected with malicious software simply by visiting a booby-trapped site. That would make it possible for an attacker to inject rogue software into the Vista-based computer.

Now who's looking like a silly billy ?  :lol: :P :lol:

I dont understand why they have made this vista. although xp has its problems i would of thought they would have fixed the problems of that before moving onto another problomatic OS. You would have thought he had enough money without making us buy vista then no doubt all our office stuff dont work on it so we got to buy all that crap again.

you think M$ can't release a decent OS?

if windows XP had been perfect when they released it then there would have been no service packs or updates, and therefore no way for them to force WGA on to peoples computers...

ever heard that saying with monkeys and typewriters?

microsoft hire enough people that they could come up with a decent OS if they really wanted to, but then how would they force their crap (like WGA) on to people?

It seems the hackers have no respect for Billy and his new broken DRM infested O/S, they are ramming home to him that its beaten by displaying not one, but two activation hacks that mean its going to cost those who dont want to pay for it not a single cent.

By now you should know that you’re able to install Windows Vista without using any product key and run Windows Vista as in evaluation or trial demo mode. In this case, Microsoft gives Vista users a grace period of 30 days in order for them to purchase a valid retail Windows Vista license to enter the product key or serial number into the Vista and subsequently activate the operating system to avoid the operating system falls into RFM or reduced functionality mode which severely limits the usability and features of Windows Vista. By default too, Microsoft allows not yet validated Windows Vista to be ‘rearmed’ (or extend the grace period to activate Windows Vista without restricting to RFM) for up to 3 times.

Hackers have released a crack called Vista Re-arm Unlimited Patch which is a patched slmgr.vbs that once installed, allows users to reset or extend Windows Vista initial grace period for Windows Vista for unlimited times. This 30-days activation bypass trick provides ability indirectly enable you to use Windows Vista for extended period of time without the need of a valid volume license key (VLK) or product key, and skip or bypass Vista activation requirement and request.

What happened to the system files adulteration checking ?? I,m sure this battle will rage on for a while yet, with fix and couter attack making light work of any claims of security.
