Let me give you a little background information, Deepz0ne is a well know cracker and was one of the original founders of a cracking group called “Redium”. Redium was the first group to successfully crack Sound Forge 4.5 so that it could be used by anyone without paying for it (illegally of course). Sound Forge 4.5 leaves a signature like this “2000-04-06 IENG ISFT Sound Forge 4.5″ at the end of all music files telling anyone who actually views it in an editor what software was used to make it. The cracked version of Sound Forge 4.5 has the same signature but slightly altered signature like this “2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forge 4.5″.

Now lets get onto the good bit, if you check out the audio files the are part of the Microsoft Windows XP Tour which can be found in “WINDOWS\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav”. Just open one of the nine .wav files in the folder in NotePad and scroll down to the bottom of the file (and across a little) and you will see the signature of the software that created the audio files, “2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forge 4.5″. I can not wait to see how Microsoft gets out of this one.
