VISTA CRACKED : Vista Activation Cracked By Brute Force

It appears that Keznews forum member Snooza has discovered a method that effectively obtains a Windows Vista key which can then be activated. The idea is a simple brute force attack: the software generates keys and when it finds one, you manually have to check if it activates. The 8-step method can take anywhere from two minutes to two days. Members of the forum have verified the strategy and claim it works. This technique should worry Microsoft, not because they are losing customers to piracy again, but because the customers who are actually spending the money on the latest Windows version may start being unable to activate the software with a legally purchased key. It seems that the main issue is time, and with today’s modern PCs, it really isn’t that much of a problem. Evidently, pirates would rather wait a couple of hours, than go to work and make the money needed to purchase a legal copy. The author of the article over at Keznews has a disclaimer which emphasizes that, "under no circumstances should anyone sell the key that they generate. I do not support Piracy, this was simply an experiment in which i used to practice my vbscripting. This was just for fun and was a complete accident! I strongly encourage everyone to purchase windows vista, and be a genuine customer!"

That hasn’t stopped him from offering his crack as a public download.

umm....it won't work . The thing is with Vista the activation process for retail & OEM editions are now much stronger then XP, so far it is not possible to crack Vista activation process, cos well...there is no VLK or Corporate edition of it. Even they need to be activated

So, unless someone breaks the activation method using some key or dll file modification, this tricks are temp

LOL. Brute Force attack can "crack" anything. you just need a CPU to do serious number crunching. Would be faster if you get a PS3 at it.
What really amazes me here is that Micro$haft uses a small enough key for brute force to be a viable option. Holy hell !!!. And with all those copies sold, it will be some time before they change the activation keys.
It seems M$ is in a tight position now. They have to limit the no. of key checks on their servers from an IP to prevent brute forcing.

No. Prior to time stopper, one more crack was available which not only use to crack vista, but also make it legit and allow updates. These are nothing new, plenty will float arround due to high cost of vista, piracy is eminent.

May god strenthen the pirates to help poor and break monopolistic Billu

PS3. It is nothing but a Joke. It is in powerful on paper but the system is fairly weak.

Anyways Sony is going have tough time when microsoft releases "Black XBox 360".

Enterprise Editions have Volume License keys and they don't need to be activated over the net :)
