While I was extracting files that were packed with other compression formats and then compressed with 7zip, there was no way I made any changes to the actual source files in this torrent.

I managed to revive this old torrent to see if we have the same file that was released all those years ago. I think it got shared because the guy (or girl) saw us trying to crack a RAR file (from 2007 or 2008) that supposedly contains Windows XP source code. Apparently the file had been circulated privately among hackers for years. The XP / W2k3 leak occurred today (the 24th) on / g / and other boards on 4chan. The uploader writes under the name billgates3: The news of the leak was shared by Bleeping Computer, where Lawrence Abrams rightly points out that it is very difficult to verify whether the code appearing online is real or not. There is also the possibility that despite the fact that the code is several years old, some of it can still be used in Windows 10. Despite its age, Windows XP is still used by quite a number of people around the world, and the obvious ability to search the operating system’s source code for vulnerabilities could pose a security concern. While the Microsoft products contained in the leak are undoubtedly old, it could be a headache for the company. The leaker also cheekily points out that Microsoft should be happy that the source code is publicly available given the company’s current acceptance of open source. The leaker justified his decision to share the source code by stating that “information should be free and available to all” and that it would be an “evil act” to adhere to it yourself. On the infamous 4chan, a collection of files nearly 50 GB in size is also shared with the source code for Windows Server 2003, Windows NT and MS DOS. Torrents have appeared online and contain source code for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and other software from Microsoft.
