Users over on the Keznews forum (registration required, summary here that doesn't require sign up) have come up with a way to crack Microsoft Windows Vista activation using a process that relies of brute force. The process is slow and manual, but given a few hours or few days it seems to be able to generate valid keys that will allow Windows Vista to be activated (claims are that the technique can check about 20,000 keys an hour). The crack relies on using a modified version of the software license manager script file.

This is pretty serious for two reasons. First, it allows people to pull product keys for Windows Vista out of the air and get a free ride on the Vista train. However, the more serious side to this is that since this process could well be generating keys that exist on boxed products - imagine buying Vista, installing it and then trying to activate it only to be told that there's a problem.
I'm going to take a closer look at the process and see whether it actually works, how long it takes.
What does this means to Microsoft? How will the Redmond giant respond?

2. Turn on, and instantly pop in the CD you just created.
3. By this time, windows might have started loading. So, turn off computer by holding down power button and then turn on again. What you want to do is boot from the CD. This can be done in two ways:
a. Often pressing one of the function keys (depending on manufacturer) takes you into the BIOS setup (the first splash screen that pops up when you turn on your computer should tell you which one: often F2, F11 or F12.) There, you should look around until you find where you can change the boot order (this differs from company to company depending on your computer brand). Change the boot order, so the computer first boots from CD then from Hard Disk.
b. There is often another function key (again depending on manufacturer) which enters you into the boot selection menu where you can select where to boot from. Hit boot from CD.
4. Watch as the CD loads. It will load a temporary version of linux on to the ram, dump all user names in a box and start processing. This software can only crack passwords up to 14 digits. As it deciphers the passwords, it will decipher each password in two blocks of 7 characters each, and then show you the whole password as a combination of those two under the column labeled 'net password'.
5. Vola! In about 5-10 minutes you have all the user names and passwords on that computer.
