CD contents and other info
- The ISO has been clearly tampered with:
- Both DEFAULT.jpg and Matrix02.bmp has a file date of October 10, 2012.
- Avast! Antivirus, Windows Media Player 10, Nero 6.6.0.12 in Spanish and Microsoft Office XP are supposed to come with the ISO, but it has been overwritten with different programs instead. AVG Anti-Virus 2012 build 2197a5126 takes Avast! Antivirus's place, Microsoft Office 2007 (just the bootstrapper on its own, no less) takes Microsoft Office XP's place, and Nero and Windows Media Player just straight up don't exist at all. A new program (PowerISO) is added, but is never used because it's not in
RunOnceEx.cmd.
- There is a serial number listed on the CD root as
SERIAL.txt. - There is an empty text file on the CD root called
CD.txt. - There is an MP3 file on the CD root labelled
NFSU - Fuel - Quarter.mp3.
WINNT.SIF metadata
- The full name and organization is set to "COMPUTADOR" and "MICROSOFT" respectively.
- The workgroup name is set to "GRUPO".
