# UMSKT Writeup Repository
|
|
|
|
Greetings all. This repository is where you will find our documentation on the inner workings activation mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
Currently, we have written documentation on the following topics:
|
|
|
|
- [Windows XP Confirmation IDs](./ConfID.md)
|
|
- [PKEY2005 (Windows Vista/7) Product Key Validation](./PKEY2005.md)
|
|
|
|
We do assume the reader has certain background knowledge in mathematics and programming when creating these writeups, but much of this background info is readily available on the internet.
|
|
|
|
