<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcsd</b>
|
||
|
|
is a fully Microsoft compatible KMS server that provides
|
||
|
|
product activation services to clients. It is meant as a
|
||
|
|
drop-in replacement for a Microsoft KMS server (Windows
|
||
|
|
computer with KMS key entered). It currently supports KMS
|
||
|
|
protocol versions 4, 5 and 6.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcsd</b>
|
||
|
|
is designed to run on POSIX compatible operating systens. It
|
||
|
|
only requires a basic C library with a BSD-style sockets API
|
||
|
|
and either <b>fork</b>(2) or <b>pthreads</b>(7). That allows
|
||
|
|
it to run on most embedded systems like routers, NASes,
|
||
|
|
mobile phones, tablets, TVs, settop boxes, etc. Some efforts
|
||
|
|
have been made that it also runs on Windows.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Although
|
||
|
|
<b>vlmcsd</b> does neither require an activation key nor a
|
||
|
|
payment to anyone, it is not meant to run illegal copies of
|
||
|
|
Windows. Its purpose is to ensure that owners of legal
|
||
|
|
copies can use their software without restrictions, e.g. if
|
||
|
|
you buy a new computer or motherboard and your key will be
|
||
|
|
refused activation from Microsoft servers due to hardware
|
||
|
|
changes.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcsd</b>
|
||
|
|
may be started via an internet superserver like
|
||
|
|
<b>inetd</b>(8) or <b>xinetd</b>(8) as well as an advanced
|
||
|
|
init system like <b>systemd</b>(8) or <b>launchd</b>(8)
|
||
|
|
using socket based activation. If <b>vlmcsd</b> detects that
|
||
|
|
<b>stdin</b>(3) is a socket, it assumes that there is
|
||
|
|
already a connected client on stdin that wants to be
|
||
|
|
activated. All options that control setting up listening
|
||
|
|
sockets will be ignored when in inetd mode.</p>

DoS attacks that spawn thousands of threads or forked

32-bit operating systems. Microsoft introduced NDR64 in

Windows Vista but their KMS servers started using it with

Windows 8. Thus if you choose random ePIDs, vlmcsd will

select ePIDs with build numbers 9200 and 9600 if you enable

in a way that it always sends two identical KMS requests in

two RPC requests but over the same TCP connection. If both

Use this mode with "care". However since Microsoft
