Vista Brute Force Keygen, hoax or fact?
The latest version of Microsoft’s Windows range ‘Vista’ has only been released for about 2 months, however yet another bypass of the Windows Genuine Advantage system has been launched.
This time however, it appears to be a key generator, or rather a Brute Force key gen. How this works is it will attempt to generate serial numbers which will then check to see if the code is valid and unregistered. If a code is found then the user will be able to activate his/hers machine without problems. However, the key gen can take hours to generate a code and the script is currently under scrutiny by many people as to whether or not the program actually works!
The so called ‘creator’ of the modded .vbs script found in all versions of Windows Vista has posted a message stating the following:
fact is the brute force keygen is a joke, i never intended for it to work. I have never gotten it to work, everyone should stop using it!
everyone who said they got a key a probably lying or mistaken!
However, 2 users of the Whirlpool forums have said that they were able to generate 2 serial numbers within a minute on a super fast FX62 machine and they have provided me with a copy of the video in which I will provide screenshots below:
So what do you think? Are these screenshots real or fake? Have you tried the key generator? Please post your comments below. All questions for the owner of the movie sent to me can also be posted below and the owner will check out this site on request.
On an end note may I please point out via a request of the video authors that the images shown herein are for educational purposes only and are only examples. Both myself and the authors of the videos have legal purchased copies of Microsoft Windows Vista and therefore we suggest you do the same.
Update #1: The video has been leaked to YouTube so here it is for all to watch: YouTube Video (UPDATE: link dead)
Update #2: Here is video 2: Download (do not distribute)
Update #3: I have been given a mirror of the second video provided thanks to JCcorp. Please note that the original video is not mirrored at the moment due to the author’s request.

The screenshots are real.
The video is real.
But is the video of the bruteforce “keygen” in action?
Sort of.
It has been modified to falsely claim it has found a key.
Is this proof of the bruteforce “keygen” actually finding a key?
No.
Sir Moe is full of shit.
Cyberblade is full of shit.

@Ron
There was no modification of the code, but i guess when we ran the program/video that we should have shown it.
-
After just speaking to Sir Moe just now we are going to reproduce this video again. and also display the VBS file via Word or something. then again we will edit out the keycodes for safety reasons.
we are just trying to prove this as a concept, myself as well as moe couldnt belive my system found it this fast so we ran it again.. same thing.
producing the video only for Whirlpool members (guess we thought wrong?) but it is flattering to have the program creator call us fake when he calls his own work dead.
we will re-asses the video and display a scroll of the code to show there was no editing.
AGAIN: THIS IS PROOF OF CONCEPT, we are not looking to be number one or anything like that as we already own our copies of vista. (myself on Vista Home Premium and Moe on Ultimate)
the code will make the video shit huge.

The new one is complete and Miccas is the only OFFICIAL mirror, no one has any right to post it elsewhere.
Details:
done in VMware
film is roughly 1.min 30.secs to showcase:
1) keygeneration
2) activation
3) code that people believe was falsified
We hope people can be as annalitical about it as possible (means review it an comment where needed) and we would like to hear constructive feedback.
1) The Frame counter
2) The Time taken
3) The Unmodified code
SO we hope you enjoy this second one built on an AMD-FX62.
I would also like to ask everyone to hang around and watch the credits, we left a little note for all our friends who decided to share our material without permission.
(particularly on rapid share and you tube, you could of atleast used a service that is credible! - (like google)

i’m sorry but you are all liars. the keygen does not work!
also if you know anything about programming you’d realize that the code doesn’t do that. It does not display the key when found. it does not say that it has been succesfully installed. if you read the instructions youd know. i guess you cant read either
how can you guys outright bullshit like this!
March 4th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
All I can say is that the cat is well and truly out of the bag. Has Sir Moe in his innocent testing just deprived a legitimate user of their product key? Its a mess all round - whether this crack is real or perceived. MS will try their best to cover up this one…
March 4th, 2007 at 9:15 pm
@Vista Geek,
Your right i know nothing about programming thats why i didnt edit the code, its completely stock (from the brute force crack).
We are NOT Bullshitting, what you see is just a screen recording of the crack in action.

The character “L” is not valid in a Vista serial, so this is fake. Sorry dude, you have had your 10 seconds of fame - now everyone knows you are just a scriptkiddie with a need to be noticed.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
The character L is definitely valid… and I have just about had it with M$ reps/lovers shooting down the keygen all over the net, even forcing the author to abdicate his own work…. man that’s low, even for Micro$oft
You guys need to grow some real balls

Lets say I got the keygen, and ran it through on a Quad Xeon machine with 8GB of ram, and som of the loudest fastest HD’s you’ll ever hear, and it would never pull up a key it just kept on running, and this machine blows my gaming rig out of the water on 3DMark so i know that it can run a little piss ass VB script so no, Moe is wrong, eveyone else is right, Fake.

Hmmm… I am not the greatest vbs programmer by any means, but if you would simply look thru the code (aka the modified slmgr.vbs script) you would see:
==============
objService.InstallProductKey(strProductKey)
strDescription = objProduct.Description
If IsKmsServer(strDescription) Then
‘ Set the KMS version in the registry
lRet = SetRegistryStr(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath, “KeyManagementServiceVersion”, objService.Version)
If (lRet = 0) Then
‘QuitWithError CStr(Hex(lRet))
msgbox strProductKey
^^^ here ^^^
strOutput = Replace(GetResource(”L_MsgInstalledPKey”), “%PKEY%”, strProductKey)
LineOut strOutput
FoundKey = True
End If
Else
lRet = DeleteRegistryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath, “KeyManagementServiceVersion”)
If (lRet = 0 And lRet = 2 And lRet = 5) Then
‘QuitWithError CStr(Hex(lRet))
msgbox strProductKey
^^^ here ^^^
strOutput = Replace(GetResource(”L_MsgInstalledPKey”), “%PKEY%”, strProductKey)
LineOut strOutput
FoundKey = True
End If
End If
WEND
Next
‘QuitIfError()
Next
End Sub
=================
This is done right after it finds a working key in sub ‘InstallProductKey’.
Try using a program such as KDiff to show side-by-side differences .. this should help unravel whats going on more or less.

Yep, bonecrusher is right.
The code does indeed display the serial after it has been found. Thing is, if this script does do the job, it is completely unknown as to how long a user would have to wait to obtain a serial. Ive had this script running on my machine for over 2 days now and still nothing. Just because you guys didn’t get your serial quick enough, dont mean that it is a fake.
The moral of the story…..?
Be patient.
