MS Source Code Illegally Leaked

MS Source Code Illegally Leaked 02/13/2004 01:24 PM

Microsoft came out and admitted yesterday that portions of the source code for Windows NT and Windows 2000 had been made available on the Internet.

They're not sure just yet who is at fault — source code is made available to third-party vendors for development purposes, but those developers are sworn to secrecy, but somebody hosed the program. MS is not yet sure just how serious the breach is.

In an article on The Register, John Lettice comments that...

The impact of the leak is however massively more important for Microsoft than it is for the rest of the world, as it effectively blows the company's 'security via obscurity' approach to smithereens. Over the past year or so it has, with much pomp and ceremony, unveiled its shared source programme as a counter to open source, while in the same period it has repeatedly stressed that it cannot disclose some aspects of its code to rivals for security reasons. If they could see it, it would leak, and then evil terrorists would be able to break into Windows more easily. Microsoft, incidentally, currently has the shared source web site as a 'related link' on the leak statement page. Are you entirely sure about this relationship, dahlinks?

Columnist: Open Source the Leaked Code

Columnist: Open Source the Leaked Code 02/15/2004 10:31 AM

Why Microsoft Should Open Source the Leaked Source: From the "never-gonna-happen" department, this guy says that Microsoft should just open-source the code that was leaked last week. He makes a good case, but there's no chance Bill would actually go for it.

Why not make lemonade out of lemons by doing the unthinkable: Redistribute the complete NT4 and Windows 2000 code base via either a fully OSS-certified or quasi-open-source license on the MSDN web site?

Sound crazy? Maybe. But think about the positive implications of a fully Microsoft-sanctioned complete release of this code...

Profanity, partner's name hidden in leaked Microsoft code: This is kind of funny.

It's not clear whether numerous profanities that are written into the code -- invisible to front-end users of the programs — were put there by Microsoft developers or those who got their hands on the files after them.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/biztech/02/13/microsoft.source/index.html Eager to get their hands on Microsoft's secrets, a frenzy of Internet file sharing followed the leak of source code for the popular Windows NT and Windows 2000 software. I was watching the 'cut n past' go buy the night the Code was leaked on irc.2600.net. Funny stuff. Down right hard core at times. They grep'ed the F word, BUG, BUGBUG, stupid, etc.... who knew what was in there.
