>> Mohanty mistaken. I am absolutely not mistaken. It is true that the product (public beta) expires if you actually follow the thumb rule for validation check. This can easily be defeated by a simple date/time change trick. Once the validation check is done on the pirated OS then install the product with advance date and then restore back the original date followed by a reboot of the machine. This works fine for me, I hope it will definitely work for you. FYI: Timestamp protections are very easy to be defeated. - Debasis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 10:11 AM To: full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk Subject: [Full-disclosure] Re: Defeating Microsoft WGA Validation Check news.com posted an article with the title "Bypass found for Windows piracy check" which still calls Debasis Mohanty founder of this crack.But they cant really know who found it first because their only source to the article is THIS mailing list and the article is based on Debasis Mohanty's disclosure.
