found a file at \$Windows.~WS\Sources rghost dot net/6jFb4vr8d There is a lot of info inside it — one decryption key for all files, direct links to esds, not a sign of enterprise versions though
If you open the registry and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer There's a DWORD value named "TelemetrySalt". I'm currently using Win10 Enterprise N LTSB x64 en-US, and this value is set to 5. I hope someone here has an idea of what the value means... .
I don't have "TelemetrySalt": Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "ActiveSetupDisabled"=dword:00000000 "ActiveSetupTaskOverride"=dword:00000001 "AsyncRunOnce"=dword:00000001 "AsyncUpdatePCSettings"=dword:00000001 "DisableAppInstallsOnFirstLogon"=dword:00000001 "DisableResolveStoreCategories"=dword:00000001 "DisableUpgradeCleanup"=dword:00000001 "EarlyAppResolverStart"=dword:00000001 "FileOpenDialog"="{DC1C5A9C-E88A-4dde-A5A1-60F82A20AEF7}" "FSIASleepTimeInMs"=dword:0000ea60 "GlobalFolderSettings"="{EF8AD2D1-AE36-11D1-B2D2-006097DF8C11}" "IconUnderline"=dword:00000002 "ListViewPopupControl"="{8be9f5ea-e746-4e47-ad57-3fb191ca1eed}" "LVPopupSearchControl"="{fccf70c8-f4d7-4d8b-8c17-cd6715e37fff}" "MachineOobeUpdates"=dword:00000001 "NoWaitOnRoamingPayloads"=dword:00000001 "TaskScheduler"="{0f87369f-a4e5-4cfc-bd3e-73e6154572dd}" "AccessDeniedDialog"="{100B4FC8-74C1-470F-B1B7-DD7B6BAE79BD}" "SmartScreenEnabled"="RequireAdmin" "GlobalAssocChangedCounter"=dword:00000002
