A strange 43GB torrent was uploaded today to the forums of the 4chan website , with the creator of the torrent claiming that the source code of many versions of Windows , Windows CE and Windows Embedded is inside .
This torrent contains the source code of:
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
MS DOS 3.30
MS DOS 6.0
Windows 2000
Windows CE 3
Windows CE 4
Windows CE 5
Windows Embedded 7
Windows Embedded CE
Windows NT 3.5
Windows NT 4
Included is a ” Media ” folder with a bizarre collection of conspiracy theories videos against Bill Gates . In addition to the torrent, a smaller 2.9GB ZIP file has been released , which contains only the source code of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm the validity of the files, while we await a statement from Microsoft .
Although we are talking about a 20 year old source code , if some pieces of code are still used today they can create problems for users . Leakster points out that the source code of Windows XP has been shared among hackers for years , but it is the first time it has been uploaded to the general public.
