Microsoft stashed ' Unique ID Code ' into WinXP final build
[Microsoft] Posted by L33tdawg on Wed, Aug 29 @ 10:13 AM (Reads: 631)
The Register is reporting that " Microsoft has quietly slipped a " Universally Unique ID (UUID) " into the ISO of build 2600 of Windows XP, thus giving itself the capability of tracking code leaks back to whoever it was that leaked them. News of the UUID's presence originally broke in the Microsoft beta newsgroups, but the matter has been followed up by Steve Gibson of GRC after postings were forwarded to him.
The UUID is located 9400 bytes from the start of the file, and is a HEX ASCII identifier which specifies the downloader's beta test ID and the IP address they're downloading from. So, all Microsoft has to do is download the warez ISO images of 2600 that are currently spreading through the usual channels. It then knows whose beta ID was used to leak the software, and can maybe figure out a little more of what's been going on from the IP address...

Your right, this will be locked. Obviously, alot of folks have obtained XP creatively. But it's not a good idea to asked for pirated software in an open forum, and it's not tolerated here either. You will also probably get a personal message (warning) from the moderator.
