Even with Vista SP1, Hackers Still Crack Windows Genuine Advantage
	The fact that Microsoft has relaxed its antipiracy mechanism built into Windows Vista concomitantly with the release of Service Pack 1 failed to stop hackers from providing a crack for the latest version of Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. Various reports point out that Genuine Advantage Validation and Notifications versions 1.7.69.1 (1.7.0069.1) and 1.7.69.2 released in March 2008, following the March 18 availability of Windows Vista ...

Gmail Cracked!
	The spam-free Gmail is about to become spam-full and on an accelerated rate from now on. When the email service from Google first came to be, it prided itself with its filters that would redirect spam directly to the folder specially created for it. Slowly but surely, hackers managed to evolve methods of fooling the rigid filters and some unwanted messages started finding their way into users’ inboxes. The next step was to cr ... [read more >>]

Microsoft "Kills" the OEM BIOS and Grace Timer Cracks Outside of Vista SP1
	Microsoft's former marketing chief, Michael Sievert, revealed back in December 2007 that, with the advent of Windows Vista Service Pack 1, two of the most popular Vista cracks would be history, namely the OEM BIOS and Grace Timer activation workarounds. Vista SP1 is designed not only to identify the pirated versions of the operating system that have been activated with OEM BIOS and Grace Timer, but also to disable the exploits. Howeve ...

Vista Cracks Beyond Vista SP1
	There is a veritable Windows Vista crack fiesta that accompanied Microsoft's latest Windows client to the market. As Vista was unleashed onto the world back at the end of 2007, cracks began emerging, designed to circumvent the antipiracy mitigations set in place by Microsoft. And in contrast to Windows XP, which was nothing short of a sacrificial lamb in the hands of pirates, Vista did feature an overhauled activation architecture, an ... [read more >>]

Windows Vista SP1 Crack
	Despite the fact that Windows Vista was not sent barefoot into the world as was the case with Windows XP, and instead came packed with antipiracy mitigations from an intimate connection with the Windows genuine Advantage mechanism to the Reduced Functionality Mode kill switch, cracks for the operating system were not uncommon. In fact, one Windows Vista activation workaround, the 2099 Grace Timer crack was around even before the platform h ... [read more >>]

Well, At Least It's Not a Sex Tape
	I know, I know... you're all going to tell me it was all a matter of time before something like this happened. And you'd be right but still, I must say that this piece of news is making me feel very sad. And depressed. Amy Winehouse, y'all, was caught on tape during a massive drug binge that took place at her own house, while she was allegedly throwing a party for friends.

The First Anniversary of the Windows Vista Grace Timer 2099 Crack
	Windows Vista is a tad under a month away from its first anniversary, taking into consideration the January 30th, 2007 consumer launch of the operating system. In November 2006, Vista was released to manufacturing and, then, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer, Steve Ballmer, gave businesses the green light to Vista. But, between the RTM and the consumer launch, Vista was the undisputed star of hacking attempts. One of the most spr ... [read more >>]

Microsoft to Kill the Grace Timer and OEM BIOS Windows Vista Cracks with Vista SP1
	With the advent of Windows Vista, cracks also became available being designed to bypass the activation process of the operating system. The new activation infrastructure and the Windows Genuine Advantage, set in place by the Redmond company, proved insufficient to deal with Windows Vista cracks. But no more. While cooking the first service pack for its latest Windows client, Microsoft announced that the refresh will mean that the free Vist ... [read more >>]

Individual Hacking 101

Porn Filter Cracked
	You install it and we'll hack it! That's what computer geeks seem to think about all the security measures installed lately. I was not amazed when I read that an anti-pornography filter had been hacked. But I was a bit astonished when I found out that it has been done by a 16-year-old. Of course, this filter was intended for people younger than 18, and the fact that this boy could hack it, is quite concerning. I just do ... [read more >>]

Microsoft's Zune Surrenders to Hackers, Gets Its DRM Cracked
	It would seem that just about anything that's got the word "Microsoft" in its name is a target for hackers, especially if the respective product (either software or hardware) is considered by the company from Redmond to be unbreakable. And the latest example of this state of facts is related to Microsoft's more or less famous Zune portable media player, renowned mostly for its relatively low sales compared to ... [read more >>]

Top Rated Windows Vista Cracks - When WGA Fails
	There is little tangible proof of the success of the Windows Genuine Advantage mechanism. Microsoft itself has only statistics as the palpable sign of the fact that the WGA is hard at work. And the Redmond Company has chosen to keep those statistics to itself. But when it comes to Windows Vista, Microsoft has integrated anti-piracy methods into the architecture of the operating system itself. Pirated copies of Vista will suffer a forced[AD ...

Windows Vista Complete Crack
	Despite of the measures built into the operating system and the "genuine" system created around it, Windows Vista is as much a victim of piracy as Windows XP was.
