If you want a serious answer, you could theoretically disable all security checks on Win11 so you could hex-edit patch it to run, but it would be (1) a lot of effort and (2) probably show that it’s nowhere near finished, because it still misses UI integration for example
That’s not how code of this magnitude works off the cuff GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory() and GetPhysicalDiskSize()) aren’t defined and might exist in a file they couldn’t access. It’s also in C++ so you’d have to compile it first no one’s going through all that for a visual screenshot of a watermark at this stage

Read the article? :D Doesn’t look like it’s live they just caught it in code
Yeah, so if they have the code, they could run it…
They kinda don’t have the sources there. That’s a decompilation by IDA in that image.
But nevertheless they could run it if they set up an arm64 machine, technically.

Wow that’s some crappy C/C++ code, there’s even a goto 😁
But whats the 0i64?
How did they get the code?
Am I reading correctly that ARM is required?
This might be only for a WinRT build (Windows mm ARM)
