Yep would be really interesting to see how that works out. maybe you’ll get it to a point where it isn’t completely bad anymore or just break a load of stuff but hey why not.

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:02am

yep. my problem is windows doing version checking because microsoft does not even trust its own OS XD

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:07am

Yeah figures, surely they can’t be doing that at runtime though but an update or reboot might fuck everything up.

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:10am

no but iirc the version info is stored in the certificate the applications are signed with

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:10am

oh shit, I didn’t even think about certificates, that would be a huge problem

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:12am

yep. most key parts of the os are signed but the kernel isnt on windows 7 XD. i hacked my windows 7 starter edition to use more than the 2GB limit

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:14am

kek thats awesome, I think Microsoft would’ve probably learned their lesson with that now though

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:15am

i doubt it.

Fun fact. the method i used can also be applied to get past the 4GB ram limit on 32bit windows and even make use of PAE

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:18am

lel nice lets just hope that Microsoft are still that incompetent then. how would you go about checking if the kernel is signed. would be interested to check my Windows VM for that.

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:18am

no idea but part of me is saying that you just need to right-click and do a more info thing

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:19am

kek that easy? I might just have todo some digging around then

is the guide i followed many years back

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:26am

Thanks I’ll take a look at that.

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:27am

pictures are taken down so your gonna have to follow it with just text

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:27am

yep thats fine, should be able to figure it out.

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:31am

Well shit. looks like Microsoft are actually signing the kernel now

Dje4321 · February 23, 2018, 8:31am

keep reading the guide. use test sign the kernel to bypass that

Michael · February 23, 2018, 8:32am

neat will try that

Michael · February 23, 2018, 9:11am

Because I’m working on Windows now and 800x600 is a pain I decided to not be lazy and get gpu passthrough working again, wasn’t nearly as bad to setup this time XD

Michael · February 23, 2018, 10:00am

@Dje4321 I got up to where you need to edit the hex values but obviously those are incompatible with the Windows 10 kernel and I’m not sure what the hex values are refering so I can find them for Windows 10.
