Windows Genuine Advantage Circumvented Yet Again
Posted by Goofy 1598 Day ago, There are 26 comments, 67050 views
Hot on the heals of Microsoft patching the Windows Genuine Advantage program against malicious scripts and hidden checkboxes, an interesting new workaround has been discovered. It seems that running GenuineCheck.exe in Windows 2000 compatibility mode generates a valid authorization key for all systems running versions of Windows XP.
As per usual, the workaround has been posted on most of the commercial news sites like CNet, leading us to believe that Microsoft will want to patch it up quickly. The program has been the object of much criticism since it became a mandatory step in automatically updating Windows machines a few weeks ago.

WGA Circumvented Again?

It makes you wonder when the hackers know more about Microslop's software than they do.  :)

MS claims that over 1/3 of their warez are pirated.  I think's it's more than 1/2!!
RE : by Phuk_Yu on 2005-08-07 10:20:16
Sorry to be sort of picky, but 1/3 is less than 1/2... not by much, but it is less..

to equate half in the measurement of thirds, half would be    one and one half 'thirds'

doncha just love english..........

I dont believe this , 9down refused they own title CirC∩Mvented. This is something like Chinese Bushism.
RE : by rEApEAt on 2005-08-08 04:31:52
"Chinese BuShism"... lol... very well done.

Maybe this is more important than all versions of Windows. Who knows?

Apocalipse Now: we can make all war we can get, but to speak ou write down dirty words is a real crime...

Hi every body..
You will not believe it... I discovered that Microsoft removed validation check even they put sign to do, I tried to validate using this method by download any thing from them, the page open thanking me and started to download normally    
RE : by NfL94Q7Tj9 on 2005-08-06 22:33:38
That may just be temporary, they are probably working on it to remove the vulnerability....

Where can I download GenuineCheck.exe ?
RE : by ForceField on 2005-08-07 01:00:50
All you have to do is to try downloading anything from their site.For example Windows Media Player 10.If your copy of Windows XP is genuine,you will see a download button at the download page.If not,a link will be displayed at his place asking you to make your copy of Windows genuine.Click on it and another page will be displayed with two steps.Click on the First step button and follow the instructions.In my case GenuineCheck.exe begun downloading on my computer automatically-I'm using Opera.It's only 401 Kb.
If you have a firewall then allow GenuineCheck.exe to access the internet.

Et voila!!!!

Good Luck!!!!

WGA is supposed to give Microsoft peace of mind.Instead it's making them Headache.

It's really strange to see that a such powerful company with the most powerful coders in the world can make mistakes like that by creating a system of protection so weak.

I'm myself a coder and I have more than 10 years of experience.I can easily say that the coders who worked on WGA are all rookies.

Anyway,good for us.

My password didn't work this morning, but, it does this afternoon, so they must be working on the system. It never ceases to amaze me how Microsoft can follow an old addage of, the harder or more secretive you make any program to obtain, the more people WANT IT!!!! The WGA is a joke, I'm sure they have far deeper reasons to suck people into this commotion.

This doesn't work for Windows Update now does it?  Looks like it's for download only, correct?
RE : by onenut on 2005-08-07 12:38:35
try it and you'll see idiot

Does anyone know all the valid product ID ranges for all Windows OSs now that the WGA system has been implied?

I know Win XP VLK is 64, but I needed to know the valid product ID range for Windows Media Center now that 365 doesnt validate.

I wanted to generate my own keys, but I need the ranges. :(
Where do i use this key!? by 3r4s3r on 2005-08-08 22:19:21

Did a clean install of XP and this no longer works... are there any newer craks for the WGA out there? :-(
RE : by fearthis78 on 2006-03-09 09:19:11
might i add you need at least service pack 2 to do this as you need to be able to use manage add ons feature, or another add on disabler
