The source leak has been traced to Redmond Mainsoft. Mainsoft is licenced to use the source code in its product MainWin to create native unix versions of windows applications.
M$ claims that the leaked source code does not compile into an usable Windows. M$ also rejected any potential threat and disaster.
Those who already have the source code....what do u'l have to say on this. Is there something to panick. Can this source code be used by black hats to create havoc.???!

Comments.

There's nothing to panic about, but certainly black hats will be able to use this source, even if you cant rebuild Windows as a whole.

The way this will mainly be used is to analyze code in core dlls and search for exploitable bugs (such as buffer overruns). It's much easier (and much quicker) to find problems like this looking at high-level (and possibly well documented) C code versus looking at ASM code (possibly obfuscated) in a debugger or disassembler.

There is also the possibility that though Windows as a whole can't be rebuilt with this portion of code, certain DLLs may be able to rebuilt (maybe kernel, IO, or driver related).

If that's the case, the possibilities are endless!

Regards

I have finished uploading the Win2k source to the exetools FTP.

It is located in /incoming/Windows.2000.Source.Code

Thanks to those who reported and assisted in distribution of this information. A note of caution however, as it has occurred now on several occasions over the last few days.

DO NOT POST INFORMATION REGARDING THE DETAILS OF OR YOUR PROBLEMS WITH THE FTP IN ANY PLACE OTHER THAT THE "ANNOUNCEMENT AND NEWS" FORUM.

I hope this is CLEAR enough. There is a reason for this, which I have explained in another thread within the last couple of days.


Regards,

Much better than nothing. But the core kernel part is not that bigger.

40gb... and they say Windows isn't bloatware

Still, the 600mb of leaked source is still useful. Well, to me it is, anyway.

No. But it contains the LFS part. It's a pity that the NTFS's sources are not included.

I'm looking for the nt4 part. I wish it contains the NTFS part. :-))

How many versions of the windows code are there?

I have seen one zip of partial windows 2000 source code
And one zip of partial (but more complete/usable) NT4 source
Any others out there?

Is the one that says "source code NT4 W2k WXP" any different from the 2 I already have?
