The Keygen for Vista – A Hoax

Everywhere I read they are talking about Windows Vista Key being cracked by a brutal force method. (A brute force attack is a method of defeating a cryptographic scheme by trying a large number of possibilities; for example, exhaustively working through all possible keys in order to decrypt a message. Definition from Wikipedia). Some even started writing articles on how this would affect Microsoft and their customer relationship. These reports also claimed that the key could be cracked within 2 hours to 2 days. The Windows Vista key has 25 digits and with a combination of Alphabets and Numbers, that’s a lot of trial and error round when you calculate with permutation and combination. There is no way one could get it in that least amount of time unless its accidental. Finally the author of the Keygen has accepted that he never intended it work and whoever claimed that its working are either lying or mistaken. So I guess Microsoft can breathe some air till someone pops up.

    Hi mr.byte
    thanks for dropping at my blog.

    Answer to ur question….

    How to make Unlocker work on Windows Vista?

    You need to deactivate UAC globally for the whole system or locally just for Unlocker. Globally, go to “Control Panel” then “User Accounts” then again “User Accounts” then “Turn User Account Control” and set it to Off, then restart your computer. Locally go to the Unlocker install directory (usually C:/Program Files/Unlocker), right-click Unlocker.exe, select Properties, and on the “Compatibility” tab, under “Priviledge Level” enable “Run this program as administrator”. Click “allow” everytime you will get the UAC prompt to ask if you want to run Unlocker.

    Updated the same at technix update.

  4. These guys really need to start thinking before they open their mouth.

  5. Yeah the keygen is not out yet but i have seen people using other ways to bypass the activation methods . And eventually a keygen will also be there .
