[Hacked Inside] Windows 8.1

[Deleted member 178]

i tested a pre-activated pirated Win8.1 in a VM ; i did a preventive scan with some AVs

EAM found 36 threats, some inactive backdoor/trojans , one dormant ransomware (surely waiting to be activated remotely) , some hacked registry keys that :

- disabled/disallowed to run several famous AVs or malware-killers (MSE/win8 defender, KIS , Avira, MBAM, SAS, BD, Avast, combofix, gmer, etc...etc...);
- blocked the advanced functions of Task Manager or Regedit
- disabled group policies and other functions

etc...

MBAM v2 couldn't run, expected because the reg keys.
HMP could run and its scans found only 5 of those threats. (some registry keys and backdoor/trojans)
WSA could run and found 2 threats (the backdoor/trojans) , it was expected that WSA missed the reg keys since it works mostly on active threats.

all this to say, if you use a cracked OS , be sure it is released by a renown serious grey hat hack club and even you will have lot of forensic to do.

thanks

What's the point using a pre cracked windows anyway ? Install with an original ISO and do it yourself if you can't afford a license

Those are build for users that don't know neither Winamp to install

No we cannot
You can download it via MSDN and TechNet, I think

Wow who uses cracked OS's these days?

There are extremely easy ways to activate untouched Windows ISOs genuinely without using lame cracks and hacktivators - we're not in the 90s any more

If you install a cracked / hacked OS and get infected, tough luck it's your own fault for being a n00b

Personally I have genuine keys for all my OS's - but even if I didn't it's a simple process to activate them genuinely without cracking or hacking anything

many unfortunately (or luckily), it is why we have our job

 

[XhenEd]

Is the KMS activation considered crack?

 

[Deleted member 178]

yes it is

and if you used it and observed its behavior; it open cmd and launch some strings, changes many registry keys and add a network adapter...now what kind of datas may pass by this adapter... to know it you have to use some traffic sniffer like Wireshark.

 

[XhenEd]

hehehe... fortunately, i don't use it... thanks for the info!

Question: Is it illegal to share Windows ISOs (for private use only) that were downloaded from MSDN/TechNet or DreamSpark?

@Umbra Polaris Do you have any screenshots of the infections? Would be good to see different results.
