Got no Vista key ? Bruteforce one !

As if it would not be easy enough to circumvent the activation of Windows Vista some clever guys managed to bruteforce working Windows Vista keys. Bruteforcing simply means that the script is testing about 20000 keys per hour changing the product key to a possible working one if one is found. I’m not sure why Microsoft has no protection against this kind of attack but they surely will add some sort of protection soon – something in the like of banning IPs that check more than x keys per minute.
