Hey! I was wondering if anyone knew where I could download a windows xp copy?

Even on microsoft's page I can't find a version (which I would use to pentest)

schroeder

there have been VMs with preconfigured WinXP installs

Bob Ebert

@schroeder You means the ones that tests Edge?

schroeder

diagprov

@BobEbert Still available on MSDN, at least the versions not containing the MS JVM.

@BobEbert for testing?

How hard have you looked? Coulda sworn modern.ie still has em

Bob Ebert

@JourneymanGeek I'll have to be honnest, I long time. I downloaded some from torrents but they were glitchy

Journeyman Geek

yeahm grab the modern.ie ones and just replace them when they expire

Bob Ebert

microsoft doesn't give any online copy (meaning all copies are illegal and or with viruses)

Journeyman Geek

that's interesting.

They did drop XP for modern.ie

Bob Ebert

on reddit, one said that wxpvol_en.iso intitle:"index of" could be good, but I'm not convinced

Bob Ebert

01:25

@JourneymanGeek Would you download an iso from: pcriver.com/operating-systems/windows-xp-iso-download?

Journeyman Geek

heh

I think I have a few spare XP disks lying around ;p

also, ugh piracy

or should I say arrr piracy

Bob Ebert

@JourneymanGeek DDo you think I can buy a copy of yours?

Journeyman Geek

heh, that means actually digging it out

Bob Ebert

Hi there, can we ask questions about ISO certificates on this part of Stack Exchange?

Anonymous

I am wondering whether a ISO certificate retains its number after expiry date, when that company wants to get a new (or let's say re-new that ) ISO certificate

@BobEbert msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/#FileId=15551

For XP SP3

You won't find some things due to the Java Licensing issue with Sun. So no Win2k

Almost everything else is available though

@cremefraiche that's fantastic

btw, I'm sending you a cease and desist letter for threatening to set my laptop on fire

I'm not sure if you've actually done that, but I figure I'll just spray n' pray with the legal system

@VincentVerheyen that question should be answerable by ISO - it's not really a good question for here

Oh well - that's them blocked from asking...

Didn't know it triggered on 2. That seems harsh.

Yeah, that's a bit mean. They did get comments saying "is this homework" from two different users though

Afternoon @Juke

JukEboX

@RoryAlsop What's going on?

Rory Alsop

I'm enjoying a particularly good omelette right now, while browsing the analytics pages for all the sites I mod - it's very pleasing having all the graphs open in front of me. I'm a visual kind of person :-)

How's about you?

JukEboX

I should do that for my site sometime soon. Just got to work and updating my car threads and getting ready to go hog wild on info sec nonsense today

Rory Alsop

Yay!

CodesInChaos

chances are that you'll execute code after you check out from git anyways.

Some Guy

True

Thomas Pornin

And it is kinda a good thing that the OS has failsafes against manual "surgery" that really is hammering at the OS internals.

We can blame Apple for being lax in its update schedule when there are security issues, but blaming them for not being able to do a chmod on a system file (and in fact being able to do it) misses the point.

Some Guy

What do you mean?

Thomas Pornin

The article berates Apple and OS X for not allowing modification of the /usr/bin/git binary, making the implicit (and wrong) assumption that this would be the right thing to do.

CodesInChaos

IMO root should be able to do anything they want.

Even if it involves shooting their own foot.

AviD

thats like saying that in a democracy, you should be able to vote to abolish democracy.

Some Guy

That's a pretty interesting question

AviD

15:07

actually, its not really that interesting. Since a democracy is supposed to be inclusive even of those that are in the minority, allowing the majority to single handedly disempower the minority must be, by definition, disallowed by the very premise of democracy.

then again, I think it was Ben Franklin that said, Democracy is 9 wolves and one sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Freedom is a well-armed sheep.

@Ohnana ...marshmallows? Wut? Marshmallows only belong inside a Tunnocks Tea Cake! Not in breakfast!
