Windows Activation Exploit: TSforge Breaks SPP

Security researchers have discovered a major vulnerability in Windows' Software Protection Platform (SPP) and developed an exploit called TSforge. This exploit bypasses activation for all versions of Windows since Windows 7, and Office since 2013. Researchers analyzed SPP's inner workings, focusing on Confirmation ID (CID) validation and the 'trusted store' data. They ultimately found the keys to decrypt and modify activation data. This discovery not only reveals SPP's security flaws but also provides valuable insights into Windows activation.
