Windows Activation URL
by zitstif on Jun.16, 2015, under Posts
#Update 10/7/2015 It appears that IE9 and IE10 will not work on these activation URLs but google-chrome and the like seem to work.
Are you ever tired of having to call Microsoft’s automated system to activate your Windows install? Use this URL instead, it’s ten times faster after you have your installation ID window up (accessible via slui.exe 4 in the run prompt):
#Update 7/30/2015
Should you have problems with that URL, try this one:
#Update 3/31/2016
New URL to use: http://bit.ly/1q60R3W
#update 6/8/2018
New URL to use: http://m.vivr.io/mUJ1zm3
#update 6/21/2018
Doesn’t seem to work anymore and you need to call their automated phone system and get a unique URL each time.
Another good reason why to disable WPS on your access points…

Granted you can already install cygwin and setup an openssh server (which is a pain), according to multiple sources OpenSSH will be supported by the Microsoft Powershell team. It is honestly about time, because if you’ve ever had to work with Windows Server Core edition, you may have felt like me and thought it was stupid that you would have to RDP into a system for command line access.
I have a strong gut feeling that the Metasploit community (who already seem to love Powershell for AV evasion) are going to have a lot of fun with a Microsoft OS builtin OpenSSH package that may even be able to be installed via the new package manager(?).
What do you guys, gals and bots think?
