Neo-Desktop/WindowsXPKg: Keygen for Windows XP

This can&#x27;t possibly work, there&#x27;s not a single line of code in there that plays those sweet mod tunes that every good keygen plays when you start it.<p>All kidding aside, this looks like a fork or reimplementation for the tool that got popular recently, based on a blog post from a few years back.

The private key was small but I suppose it was considered adequate at the time of release; it was cracked a long time ago (late 2009 was when I first learned of it) and an earlier keygen exists. Stuff like this tends to remain private&#x2F;hard-to-discover, but I&#x27;m not surprised to see it publicised now.<p>Here&#x27;s some more details:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sabah.forumotion.com&#x2F;t333-all-you-need-to-know-about-windows-product-keys" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sabah.forumotion.com&#x2F;t333-all-you-need-to-know-about...</a><p>The key phrase is at the end: &quot;Therefore, the complexity of computing the private key k is O(2^31)&quot;

I reinstalled XP so many times back in the day that I still have an installation key memorized.

POSReady 2009 is lighter, has more updates and is volume activated, so a cleaner option all around.

Seems to be a fork of the original <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;TheMCHK&#x2F;WindowsXPKg">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;TheMCHK&#x2F;WindowsXPKg</a>

Does it comes with a catchy tracker soundtrack?

Wasn&#x27;t the XP source code leaked some time ago?<p>Couldn&#x27;t someone just modify it to remove the key check?
