it appears that windows source code for 2000 and nt has been leaked onto the internet.
here (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/12/2114228&mode=thread&tid=109&tid=187) and here (http://www.neowin.net/)
windows is now open source :lol:
edit: sorry neowin is being slashdotted at the minute thats the reason you cant connect.

this is gonna cause major problems if it is true. think of all the bugs people are gonna find is this software. there will be alot more worms and viruses coming up so get patching windows users.
I think this is the beginning of the end for m$

those of you who are familiar with linux may have noticed the makefiles in there. also the last file is called words of wisdom from dennis and has a file size that is zero. very odd but apparently this is pretty ligitimate.

File circulates around to several underground sites and chat rooms
By Robert Lemos
Updated: 05:14 PM PT Feb. 12, 2004
Microsoft is investigating the possibility that a file posted to several underground sites and chat rooms contains some protected source code to Windows 2000.
advertisement
The 203MB file contains the code that appears to be from Microsoft's enterprise operating system, but the code is not complete, said Dragos Ruiu, a security consultant and the organizer of the CanSecWest security conference, who has examined the file listing.
"It was on the peer-to-peer networks and IRC (Internet relay chat) today," Ruiu said. "Everybody has got it; it's widespread now."
The 203MB file expands to just under 660MB, he said, noting that the final code size almost perfectly matches the capacity of a typical CD-ROM. The entire source code, he said, is believed to be about 40GB, meaning that the file circulating Thursday would be only a fraction of the full code base -- if it is authentic.
Ruiu, who has seen the file, believes it to be authentic. "It looks real," he said. "You can't build Windows, however. It's just a bunch of chunks of the operating system."
Microsoft said it is looking into claims that file traders were swapping its proprietary source code.
"The rumor regarding the availability of Windows source code is based on the speculation of an individual who saw a small section of unidentified code and thought it looked like Windows code," Microsoft said in a statement provided to CNET News.com. "Microsoft is looking into this as a matter of due diligence."
Earlier Thursday, a source located a file purporting to be the code on a Web site, but the file was removed from the Internet before it could be completely downloaded.
The potential that the source code has been released has some security experts worried.
"It's definitely not a good thing if black hats have the source code," said Oliver Friedrichs, senior manager with antivirus company Symantec's security response center. If the source code has been released, "the underground can look at the code without legitimate security researchers being able to find vulnerabilities first."
But Microsoft downplayed any security issue.
In its statement the company said the main concern is the potential theft of its handiwork rather than the possible security threat that such a leak might pose.
"If a small section of Windows source code were to be available, it would be a matter of intellectual property rights rather than security," Microsoft said.
Microsoft zealously guards the source code to the various versions of its Windows operating system, sharing it only with universities and government agencies that sign agreements not to release the code. While working versions of Microsoft's operating system have occasionally leaked to the Internet, actual source code leaks have been rare. (MSNBC is a Microsoft - NBC joint venture.)
Although Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has publicly bragged about the security of Windows, even Microsoft fears the release of its code. In testimony during the Microsoft antitrust trial, Jim Allchin, the company's senior vice president for Windows, said opening up the company's source code could be devastating for the operating system's security.
"The more (that) creators of viruses know about how antivirus mechanisms in Windows operating systems work, the easier it will be to create viruses or disable or destroy those mechanisms," Allchin testified during a May 2002 antitrust trial.
Allchin made the statements while defending the company against legal remedies supported by nine states that would have compelled Microsoft to give away the source code to Internet Explorer.
Allchin's fears are not misplaced, said Thor Larholm, senior security researcher with security consultancy PiVX Solutions.
"Just look at the amount of vulnerabilities that are discovered without the source code," he said. "The majority of Windows servers are still running Windows 2000. Furthermore, Windows 2000 has a lot of shared code that is still being used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2003."
However, other security experts believe that fears about a leak leading to the widespread discovery of vulnerabilities in the code are misplaced.
"Theoretically, to a good reverse engineer, all code is open source," said a Microsoft security consultant who asked not to be identified. He added that the size of the compressed file that was being passed around the Internet sounded about right.
In the end, however, the mistake that made Microsoft's code public might result in benefits similar to open-source code, Ruiu said.
"Short term, there might be problem (as bugs are found), but long term it might be good for them," he said. "Their code might become more secure."

bits and peices of source code, not the full source.
Microsoft can keep their shitty code for all I care. Besides being able to exploit their o.s., which most people have been doing for over a decade now without their "protected" source.

REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 12, 2004 -- On Thursday, Microsoft became aware that portions of the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 source code were illegally made available on the Internet. It’s illegal for third parties to post Microsoft source code, and we take such activity very seriously.
We are currently investigating these postings and are working with the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.
At this point it does not appear that this is the result of any breach of Microsoft’s corporate network or internal security.
At this time there is no known impact on customers. We will continue to monitor the situation.

the full uncompressed source code for windows is about 40 gigs big.
this is only part of the code but it could be of massive help to certain open source products trying to have better compatibility with windows.
wine for instance would end up including code from people that have viewed this source code.
Im just waiting for some clever bunch of programers to try to run their linux kernels under windows that would be fun.
I was reading up and it appears those weird named .eml files
win2k/private/genx/ie/tokens/words of wisdom from dennis.eml
are left over from being infected by nimidia. it appears a virus scanner has cleaned the files since they are zero in length but it must have left a backdoor open for the code to be stolen.
microsoft have confirmed that a portion of their code is circulating
here (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37648-2004Feb12.html)
edit: it appears this code was leaked from mainsoft (http://www.mainsoft.com/) somebody is gonna be in big trouble.

i dont think you can corrupt a torrent. it is split into chunks and if any chunk becomes corrupt it is redownloaded.
the best m$ can do is either get the seeder shutdown, the tracker shutdown or have massive amount of bandwidth to corrupt a small part of every chunk so people have to keep redownloading but that is just a stall.

Another OS up their sleeve? Nope, Lornhorn's all they got. :lol:
XP sourcecode released... nope, but XP is based on a lot of the same code, so.... kind of. If a virus can infect 2000, NT, first of all it'll probably infect any windows machine, but hit XP as well. And if it's gonna be something a virus scanner can't get rid of, probably not. The sourcecode is very smal, but it wasn't virus scanner sourcecode. But if one can understand how a virus scanner ineteracts with say... the NTKernel, that could be bad. So there may or may not be some bad viruses coming. But if anti-viruses can't hack it, then there will just be a specialized virus removall tool, like the ones listed HERE (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html)
From the Win98 source code:
ON (ANY RANDOM ACTION) GOTO: BSOD
I love this. :lol: :lol: :lol:

This kinda sucks for some developers though. If a developer wants to work on an open source project and has already seen M$ source code, then admits it, he probabloy won't be accepted.... :(
Don't do something you'll regret. M$ code isn't that good anyway B)
