Microsoft COFEE Leaked
54mc writes "Crunchgear reports that Microsoft's long-searched-for forensics tool, COFEE, has been leaked. The tool started on a small, private tracker, but has since worked its way to The Pirate Bay. Not all those who have gotten hold of it are enthused, and reviews have ranged from 'disappointing' to 'useless.' From the article: 'You have absolutely no use for the program. It's not something like Photoshop or Final Cut Pro, an expensive application that you download for the hell of it on the off-chance you need to put Dave Meltzer's face on Brett Hart's body as part of a message board thread. No, COFEE is 100 percent useless to you.'"
Come on, the setup is so obvious!
Its a tool written by Microsoft, for Microsoft products. Do you have nefarious stuff you'd rather not have leaked? Warez or other secret stuff you'd rather keep hidden? The solution? Don't run Windows, run HURD! As added bonus, there's no viruses, no nasties that'll install on your system. No COFEE or other LEO programs to infect your privacy.
HURD...The only sensible solution.
I thought the same thing and pursued her only to find out the her is a he. I became the 2nd person to throw chairs at MS.
"Won’t be long before DECAF is released, which will block attempts to use COFEE on your machine, I’m sure."

At first I thought these two stories were related.

I was about to download the MS tool so I could create my own spectacular tasting, eye-opening, knock-off classic art.
So what you're saying is that it's a true Microsoft product, amirite?
