    Mmmm, it could be. Now that I'm thinking about it, I used the TAB key to quickly autocomplete the name of the file I was looking for, and all the ISOS are named very similar. Perhaps I hit the TAB key a bit too many times and selected the wrong file name!! :eek:

    Anyway, the hex editor route is perfectly fine for me. 32 bytes can be changed in a few seconds. I'll try xdelta again in the future for more serious and bigger patches! :)

    Kind regards.

    Guys I think that I'm not understanding something...

    So: I've installed the WZT Version, and it's activated. Ok? It's a Windows 8 Pro x64.

    My question is: Do I have to change something on my installed OS to match the msdn one? Any file I should modify? And I'm not talking about the .iso; I don't have the iso on the computer anymore. Just in a dvd right now. I'm talking about the files itselfs.

    Thanks and sorry about the newbie question.

    Regards.

    those deltas patch are applicable on ISO file only. so; you don't have to change anything on your installed OS

    You right, nobody said things like this is easy :biggrin:

    Thanks for the link btw.

    Have to announce myself I'm not really sure on the zeroes at offset from 0x94 to 0xb3 as someone mentioned in another post, perhaps it's only for the enterprise edition of WZT but different in speak of
    the english Pro 32 bit WZT which I have.

    BUILD: 6.2.9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247
    Windows_8_Pro_EN-US_x86.ISO
    SHA-1: B30B7D770F047CF427E836ABC048501EFF8A1FAC

    Please check on the uploaded picture, don't know for sure but couldn't see any zeroes if it's on the right place. Can anyone confirm?

    :eek:Hi m8, you must overwrite the underlined 32-byte sequence with zeroes; I have tested it and confirm that it works on both edition Enterprise and Pro :)

    I'm still not sure about using this Delta conversion, easier to just download the whole genuine thing then you have total peace of mind.

    Why do you people use this delta thing?? Download the torrent... Rename the WZOR leak ISO to the MSDN filename, place the ISO in the same folder where the torrent would download it... Right click the torrent in the client, 'Force check'.. And then download just the difference...

    here is a quick advice ... instead of downloading the whole damn thing again why dont you spend this time in learning how hashing works?

    Regarding how hashing works, do you know whether if 2 files have the same hash, they guaranteed to be identical? For example, is it possible for someone to take the original file, and plant a virus in there while maintaining the identical hash check value? Is it possible to fake hash? I asked this in another thread but noone answered, you seem to know a lot about hashes.

    Thanks for replying!

    Why is it so hard to create a hash collision though? We know how SHA-1 is calculated (there are many programs that do it, so I assume they have the formula), so surely it's possible to reverse-engineer the calculation, and plant the virus in a way that doesn't affect the calculation? Or will this be practically impossible because if it's attempted, the program won't work as it should anymore, giving the game away?
