SP2 on Hackz0rd XP pro

[Rukee]

Not that I`m real proud of finding this, but I thought I would share anyway.
It use to be when you dnld`d SP2 it would check for validness of your XP install when you tryed to install the SP2 and kick out with an error if your copy wasn`t legit. Now Microsoft checks for validness of your XP before you can dnld SP2. When you go to dnld it with a legit copy of XP, dnld the redistribute one and save it to a known location. Then you can install it on ANY verssion of XP, even the hackz0rd verssions and get all the updates and security stuff that comes along with it.

SP2 only works with corporate cdkeys that have not been added to the sp2 list.


Luckily, the sp2 list is old and outdated.

However, the website list for any download is brand new.

Then again, this doesn't matter since you can add a simple javascript line to the end of the link and bypass it all together, just like before.
