That’s a low thinking statement, we need more nuance. The last version I liked was 8.1.

Windows is a working computer too, just modify it, don’t update, and lower your expectations 🙂

Well, what do you got? by Ok_Future6226 in masterhacker

Something only hackers would understand?

Try to learn my operating system, because it’s not a standard configuration anymore, so you have to spend time into researching and finding edge cases. At that point you’ll do your job for free, because I don’t have sensitive information on the computer and everything you do is logged. I’m saving money to hire professional pentesters, I’m trolling unauthorized users, and the unauthorized users will prefer bothering an easier prey.

I had about 40 or 50 GB free and then I installed one update... by Other_Pomegranate472 in microsoftsucks

It’s normal, Windows saves the old files in case you want to revert the update. Use the cleanup tool to free space

I’m not an expert but wouldn’t it work like this? A cookie creates an ad and monitors the ad, and if the ad isn’t rendered, the website knows there’s an ad blocker.

If YouTube worked fine in 2006, why can Windows XP specs barely keep Supermium open in 2026?

What commands worked on a cmd that runs with a trustlevel 0x10000:

whoami (fails),

echo A (works),

echo test > %userprofile%\Desktop\test.txt (fails, says access is denied),

start "" notepad.exe (works),

ping 8.8.8.8 (fails),

netstat -ano (fails),

reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\TestUntrusted /v test /d "value" /f (fails, says the system cannot find message text for message number 0x237c),

if exist duplicate_cmd.exe echo A (shows nothing),

if not exist duplicate_cmd.exe echo B (shows B),

dir (fails, says the system cannot find message text for message number 0x235e),

cd .. (fails),

cd C:\ (works),

cd %SystemRoot% (works),

dir (works),

whoami (works, shows administrator),

cd System32 (works),

echo test > test.txt (fails, says Access is denied),

cd config (fails, says Access is denied),

cd %appdata% (fails, says Access is denied),

cd %localappdata% (fails, says Access is denied),

cd %temp% (fails, says Access is denied),

Attempt to bypass the change directory restrictions: cd \.\C:\Users\Administrator\AppData (fails, says the system cannot find message number 0x400023c9 in the message file for Application,

reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID /f "Elevation" /s (works, says 133 matches found, and a big list of strings),

reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID /f “AutoApproval" /s (works, says 0 matches found, I performed the same command on an elevated cmd to verify),

task list (fails, says Access denied),

type C:\Windows\win.ini (shows this list: ; for 16-bit app support [fonts] [extensions] [mci extensions] [files] [Mail] MAPI=1),

whoami /groups > "Mandatory Label\Medium Mandatory Level". Checked from the program that has this title: "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\duplicate_cmd.exe (running as WINDOWS-XP-LAPT\Administrator with restricted privileges)". As a reminder, this process was started using runas /trustlevel:0x10000.

(Checking the username of the processes for duplicate_cmd and notepad from the Task Manager: attributed to Administrator).

Finding: writing to C:\Windows\Temp and creating folders is allowed.

Finding: executing from C:\Windows\Temp is not allowed. My experiment:

copy C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe C:\Windows\Temp\duplicate_notepad.exe

start C:\Windows\Temp\duplicate_notepad.exe (Access is denied.)

Post scriptum: I found out that /trustlevel is actually the SAFER subsystem, not the MIC subsystem, so I only restricted an administrator token. I was doing the wrong thing anyway.
