Are people deeply involved with OSS going to start fixing bugs in Win 2k? Might be fun and a dagger in MS's heart.
"We fix bugs in 24 to 40 hours, much faster than OSS."
Do I have to sign an NDA?
Seriously, this should be pretty interesting. I wonder how many bugs are ACTUALLY in the NT kernels...

There's plenty of worthless spam on the internet already.
I've been upgraded to "bad"!
Maybe peer review will send a flurry of discovered holes to Microsoft for them to patch.
Maybe this will be positive for all of mankind!
Or maybe I'm crazy.

"Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for.

...Windows 2000 and Windows NT source code has been leaked to the internet.
The Internet, however, being a polite sort of fellow and completely undesirous of the undoubtedly horrible ramifications of having such a beastie running around loose, gently replaced the source code and gave Windows a friendly pat on the head.

I wonder how long till hackers go in and fix some of the bugs. That's the real danger to microsoft, if the bugs were fixed people wouldn't have to upgrade.

How...surprising! Look! A really good reason to move from previous versions to MS's new DRM enforced versions.

We ask that for the wider benefit of the IT community that members and readers support Microsoft by forwarding anything they know about the leak to the Microsoft's Anti-Piracy department.
How is this to the benefit of the IT community?

Of course, I'm not the suspicious type ... :-)

Breaking News:
A member of the Slashdot cult has admitted he has stolen the source code to Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. PickyH3D is the handle the low-karma hacker used when bragging of his accomplishment to the world. He has also issued a challenge to Microsoft's legal team with the statement that "there is no evidence". More on this as we hear it.
Sco should verify that their source isn't found in Microsoft sources. Heck, they might find those lines that they reported in the Linux Kernel probably in Win2000 kernel.
Imagine that!
Now we just have to wait for SCO to have a leak and everyone's dirty laundry is out in the open.

> I for one would love to peek around in this, more out of curiosity
Morbid curiosity perhaps. Considering the amount of backward compatibility in there, and the generations of tools and code frameworks used over the past decade and longer, I would expect the Windows code to be a BLOODY MESS. In fact it would probably be amusing to just grep for comments--"what does the next line do?!" or "what the h3ll were we thinking?!"
I'm a little curious as to why you seem so uncomfortable saying "Micro". Actually, scratch that. I don't want to know.

Along the same lines. The sources to the Linux operating system have been widely exposed for the last ten years or so. I do not wish to be sensationalist but the number of industries and critical systems that are based around these Linux Technologies and could be damages by new exploits found int this Linux source code is something that doesn't bear thinking about.

WINEHQ: Early today, a developer who wished to remain anonymous contribued an astonishing amount of source code to the WINE project. Some initial testing performed by WINE core developers revealed that WINE's compatibility with Microsoft Windows applications releasted for Windows NT and Windows 2000 had perfect compatibility, even down to some annoying and well-known bugs that have plagued certain Microsoft DLLs distributed with Microsoft's operating systems.
;)
"This will really make it possible for non-Windows users to run more applications than ever using WINE on alternate operating systems like Linux," said one develper we spoke with.
I would be the most poetically ironic event ever if it turns out that it was a MS Win security hole that allowed a hacker to enter a server and steal the code.
Doubly ironic if it was a hole that MS has known about for months and not bothered to patch.
Triply ironic if someone finds said hole, patches it, and ships patched source back to MS.

If it's later demonstrated that you had access to the W2K source and contributed vaguely similar code (even by accident) to a project, it could have severe repercussions for that project.
I seriously doubt that having looked at that crappy code, anyone would want to duplicate it in even a vague way. At best it would provide an example of what not to do
I don't make a living as a programmer and I still won't touch this. I want to keep my programming options open and I don't want to consider myself even remotely tainted.

If its true (conspiracy theorists) that MS was behind the 50M cash investment into SCO a while back, then its possible MS is trying to provoke the playgournd wimp into picking a fight with the Big Blue bully for the sole purpose of being there first after getting his ass kicked. Its not out of the realm of possibility that the MS world domination plans include purchasing UNIX IP just to burn it in some pagan ritual.
Hrmph. I opened one of those files and all it said was:
-*- Any technology indistinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced -*-
Maybe the source was "leaked" because MS is so tired of people claiming it's OSs are inherently insecure, when in reality the exact opposite is true. With the proof floating out there for all to see, this silly argument against WinOS can finally be put to rest.

It has been reported that numerous patches have now been emailed to microsoft after the source code leaks of the previous hour. The quality of those patches has amazed Microsoft, which has with immediate effect fired most of its current employees and send out offer letters to the patch developers.
Inside sources also report that microsoft is also deliberating on firing all its employees and relying completely on the so-called underground community to maintain and develop new features of the Windows operating system. More on this as it comes.
Could this be a ploy to spur Win2k+3 updates? Blame the hackers for making win2k insecure. Oops you gotta upgrade now, sorry,
Not a very effective one, then. The key component - Windows Update - still fetches from the same place each time, and unless someone manages to fool that program into downloading from some other source, it's not a big problem.
The bigger issue here is the release of code that Microsoft may have licensed from third parties that they were not supposed to reveal, as well as the release of their own IP. I imagine someone's or some institution is going to be in a world of hurt if MS ever finds out who did it. Not terribly likely, but possible.
If it were me who did it, accidentally or on purpose, I'd be on a jet to some foreign country right now.

It's 5:15PM. I got home from work 2 hours ago, and had a nap. It is a beautiful day outside, and the Windows source code has been leaked.
And I have 5 Moderator points.

It was a quiet nice evening couple years ago walking around Washington. Someone pointed me to an open door at the white house. 2 telephones sitting side by side. One direct to Moscow, the other direct to central nuclear command.
:-(
People were milling about in the room, I finally took the dive and made a couple of prank calls for pizza. Some other guys managed to get the US up to def con 4. I envied them because I managed to get only arrested.
It seemed real. Very real. Someone had broken into the potting shed, stuffed a key to the nuke room under a bush and escaped with it.
There was some small mention about it on the Drudge too but I couldn't find it right now. It seems the government was able to really sweep that one under the carpet. I wonder how.
There are people around with the phone number still, trust me. I envy them. I would gladly make the call to nuke France. Even though it would be a HUGE task.
So the now Brittany Spear's leaked cell number is mostly just boring and obsolete.

Amongst their other technological feats, Microsoft have now invented the time machine and have succeeded in travelling to the future, getting hold of the Samba source code and travelling back to the early development days of Windows 2000 to incorporate future Samba source code within Windows 2000.

Onan Source developers are ALREADY in trouble for their leaks.
They need to be taught that just because a tool is available, does not make it right to use it however they see fit.
Microsoft has always maintained that it takes a good 24 hours to compile a full version of Windows from the source

Microsoft is sooooo obviously trying to pull an SCO here.

Whoops! I looked. And now it's clear why Microsoft bought a license from SCO.

(For the more literal-minded Slashdot readers: no I haven't really seen the code. This is a cheap jab at Microsoft, implying their code is derivative of unix and linux code,)

You, my friend, win for best line I have ever read on slashdot ...
IANAL, but from what I've read on slashdot...
This is good stuff

You can see it here: here

I didn't point you to it
Funny how different two companies feel about source code. Apple has somewhat embraced the open source model, contributing to KHTML, and using many other open source projects. While Microsoft has shunned them all.
Sorry, no typo. I'm really bad at detecting sarcasm but I think I got your meaning.
Heck, you could make the argument that just sending this source code around should be considered "distributing a malicious virus"...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
Hopefully the developers of Wine can use this to improve their product! Damn... imagine it actually working for the majority of Windows apps/games!!
*That* would be something to make people start using Linux as a desktop!
We have secretly replaced these Slashdot mods' sense of humor with a rusty nail. Let's see if they notice!!
Dude, where have you been for the past three years? Oh, I know... government IT. How'd I guess?

There's so many more computers running than 2000/XP than 9x, why bother writing any kind of worm that targets 9x?
Is that true? Can you prove it?
For years after Windows 95 came out, there were more Windows 3.1 systems than there were Windows 95 systems. Why is this?
It's probably for the same reason that there are more dead people than live people.

A)
1. look at the linux source
2. find a mistake
3. send a patch to the maintainer.
4. PROFIT!!
B)
1. look at the windows source
2. find a mistake
3. ???
4. write a worm
5. get caught

what my first thought was:
Because every idiot skr1pt k1dd13 and their lam0r grandmother can code winDOZE viriii, but only 1337 H4XX0rZ can ownzor teh LiNuX and MaC BoXxEn!!!1!!
how it should be phrased:
Successfully designing, implementing and deploying a worm/virus targetting the aforementioned "alternative" platforms Linux and/or Apple would - although being a much more complex undertaking and promising less quantifiable success (for example, infected hosts) than targetting the Microsoft Windows platform - could strengthen the Programmer's social status amongst his peers.
how it should be phrased on slashdot:
Frist psot!

Does it say something about me that I'm more interested and excited about this than any news story that I've read in the last year? (Janet's tit included.)

You know exactly what's going to happen is that Microsoft's stock will gain value and rise several dollars by the end of the next business day.

Why do I predict that? Simple: The Stock Market's reality is the exact opposite of Slashdot's reality
Proof? One word: SCO
This just in WINE development moves at an exponential rate! Ever wonder?
You say things that offend me and I can deal with it. Can you?
maybe its that thing, atm 23 seeders, 239 downloading and it was created on 2/12/2004 11:16:13 PM, so looks good so far
What a waste of bandwidth. I don't even want the binary on my computer. Why would I want that massive blob of repeatedly patched DOS 3.0/Win 3.1 source code contaminating my disk? If I need a laugh, I'll just turn on the comedy channel.
1. Get the OS to compile and boot.
2. Reproduce windows bugs.
3. Fix bugs faster the MS does.

6. Profit!
Couldn't this give the Open Source community problems down the road? As in Windows code ending up in some Open Source project ? Just the accusation would cause problems.. Unlikely , but everything is possible.

Wonder how long it'll take before a torrent of new worms using newly discovered security holes tear up the net.

So where can i find this
budum-chink!
Please, don't slander BSD and research UNIX. That's just not right.
I think you people are going a little overboard. Windows source code isn't like a virus or something.
Wait a minute....

true, its leaked constantly but sco is the only company that is stealing it.
Thankyou all for participating in *the* troll of 2004.
So i have been reading /. and looking at examples of source code that have been cited and created on /. but i think this is the real code that was leaked.

The "Insert Quote Here" line is almost as predictable as inserting an actual quote.
I should have seen that coming a mile away
We have identified over one million lines of our IP in Microsoft's source code. While I cannot share most of them because they are a trade secret, here are three of the most glaring examples:
#include
for( ; ; )
if(!stop) {
Many of these lines have been copied verbatim several thousand times. We do not want to, but are forced to sue Microsoft for unlicensed use of our intellectual property.
We will institute a licensing program called gplSource which will allow Windows users to obtain the legal rights to use our IP. This cost will be significantly discounted to early adopters.
Already at least three Fortune 500 companies have seen the validity of our claims and have paid these fees on a per-CPU basis to continue using Windows. While we cannot divulge their names, they do exist. Really!

It's amazing how the "informed" slashdot crowd falls for a story like this. I think Neowin wanted to test their infrastructure so they trolled /.

Coincidently, this is also one of the key reasons that there are more worms/virii released that target Windows than Mac or Linux - why target Mac or Linux when you can target Windows, with many, many times more users?

I have noticed some viruses for linux. One was just a script and it recommended that the indivdual chmod a+x and then run it. The other one you had to type gcc -o virus virus.c and then run the resulting binary in order to get it to work. And then there was that one where it wanted to load a module but it couldn't because modules weren't supported on that kernel, although it did try for
Then there was that one that installed an irc backdoor:

Oh, wait. that last one was a Windows thing. But those other ones. Look out. They'll do some nasty things. I mean, it takes a bit of work to get them running. But once you do. Look out. They're dangerous!
ssssssshhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Don't tell anyone I'm downloading the Fedora Core 2 Beta source code right now. Some silly bastard put it up on their FTP server; they're gonna feel pretty stupid when they realize it.
In the above mentioned link, the following "observation" is made:
"With the open source community, there are a large percentage of tinkers and 'ankle biters' who are trying their hand at hacking. Some are even communicating with each other. So it only takes one or two of these groups sharing information to be able to pull something off. When you have this type of passion, it's hard to fight because these people are like virtual suicide car bombers."
Interesting choice of comparisons, if you ask me.
i guess it's because the Linux source code is carefully scrutinised on a regular basis, whereas the windows sources, because microsoft doesn't give them away to the public, are not.
but i doubt a sourcecode leak is all that dangerous, surely security can't be that bad, can it?

I would like to announce a new open source OS project I am starting. Being a big fan of OpenVMS and DCL, I decided to use some of the basic concepts behind that OS as the model for this project. However, I think the DEC Windows GUI for OpenVMS is a little long in the tooth, so I am proposing something a little more up to date. It's not Linux or Unix based because those OSes have already had a lot of open source activity. It will have limited POSIX compatibility. Previous versions (last night), I experimented with had OS/2 compatibility, but you know how it goes... you need to have the apps to warrant the support. I've already got about 660 Megs of code that I wrote since I received my inspiration and will provide a torrent link to it soon. Anyone intersted in the project, please respond here as I haven't yet set something up at Eba^H^H^H^H^HSourceforge. I look forward to a speedy development phase. I think this OS could be the first open source OS to be ready to go to market in a very short period of time. Boy am I excited!
I try to be fu
Actually I would conjecture that it is highly derivative of VMS, rather than UNIX.
After all, why else would they they shift the VMS letters forward one to get WNT (Windows NT)?

So now both M$ AND Linux are open source, but Linux is profiting by it, and M$ is whining and crying about it. Bite back at the borg! You will be assimilated, too!
Always going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse.
By the looks of all the empty .eml files, the source was obviously stolen from a guy hit by the nimda virus.
.eml files are a typical indication of a computer that was infected by nimda then cleaned. Unfortuantly, this guy forgot to disable sharing of his shares after cleaning up.

I'm submitting patches to the 2.6 kernel for the blue screen of death. I'm hoping they make it in to the next release.
So where do we send the patches? That IS why they released it isn't it?
it's all over eDonkey too.
No GNU has been Hurd during the making of this comment.
Do you remember the Flinstones? Their dish washer? You would open it up and inside there would be this weird little critter washing the dishes. Now that Windows' source has been leaked, the entire world will find out that is nothing more than a leprechaun churning out applications.
Viruses are well supported by their authors, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So, Windows is not a virus.

you should grep for string 'suck' on that src-code. There are some pearls. like:
// BUGBUG -- Win95 sucks. Close the socket and try again
...
or
printf("Ha! There is no verbose mode, sucker. Try again\n");
and so on
And if you don't pay up, we'll release the rest of it . . .
Hmmm, so Microsoft now believe they control the freedom of the press also?

That's kinda sad. I've written a lot of code, and I've never felt the need to use profanity (no matter how frustrated I might have been). Programs should be written as professionally as any other document--there's room for humor, but words like fuck really shouldn't have a place in them, IMO.

/. is to be able to indulge my whims to engage in cheap shots :->
Oh, no question, the use of the dollar sign is a cheap shot. But, hey, at least a quarter of why I hang out at
Maybe my serious stuff would be read more if I were to adopt a more "proper" tone but after too many years in jacket and tie (or even suit-bound - blech!) in flourescent-lit office buildings, I just can't be bothered.
I mean, criminy, I've been in self-imposed exile from the land of corporate jobs and "serious" business prose for over three years now and have just come home from the mushiest, sappiest, flat out cutest Valentine's Day dinner of my life, part of which was spent discussing the implications of my swiftly growing business and my swiftly improving finances. So doggone it, the silly letter usages stay. The world will just have to survive the trauma of it all.
Down with propriety! Hail giggling and ditzy cheap shots!
