The easiest way I've found, and one I think will work in your situation, is to boot into Safe Mode with the XP system. Then choose "Start, Run" and enter the following:
rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk
Those are both the letter "Ohs" in there and it is case sensitive. If it works you won't see any sign of it until you reboot. If you type it incorrectly an error message will come back. This basically resets how long you have to activate (I believe 30 days).

Subject: [Vol-users] Using Windows XP VMs for testing and windows activation
I have not used VMs in the past to do malware testing because of the windows activation problems I run into. Clone, you have to activate; copy, you have to activate; move, you have to activate. I'm surprised that it still activates!
I would like to talk to someone who knows the best way to deal with this. (or not) I'd like to have a clone that is infected that I can go back to later. (I do that now with hard disk images - I can put back a disk image to disk and plug it into the computer and bring it right back up.)
I can continue to use my test system, which I do not have any problem with. I blow a copy of a clean system to disk and then go on testing without any activation problems.
Let me know if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Mike

All,
Has anyone successfully analyzed memory from a windows 2008 server memory dump? This is my third time attempting to do so, and have yet to have any success with volatility. I took the memory dump so I know the profile, however, volatility reports it as a Windows 7 machine. Any advice on how to approach this persistent problem?
Does anyone have a copy of Brian Kaplan's paper, "RAM is Key, Extracting Disk Encryption Keys From Volatile Memory"
that they could email me at dragonforen(a)hotmail.com
If so, thank you!
Mike
Hi,
I'm using zeusscan2 module against a zeus infected memory dump, i'm able to
get the rc4 keys and xor keys as mentioned in this link "
http://mnin.blogspot.in/2011/09/abstract-memory-analysis-zeus.html".......i
have also downloaded the zeus config file, that this sample tried to
download, knowing this information, is it possible to decrypt the config
file, if yes, how can i decrypt the config file or what are the steps to
decrypt the config file?....and i think the zeuscan plugin is really
awesome (Thanks Michael for writing such a great plugin, its really
useful?)..
Thanks,
Does this mean volatility can't identify the hiberfil?

This is just from doing an imageinfo. I was thinking since it
includes plugins that some plugins need to be updated for 2.1, but I
didn't want to make the assumption.
It does finish the KDBG search and give me the correct profile, so
it's parsing the dump. Just wasn't sure about the errors.
Thanks,
Tom
I have found an interesting result and have a fair amount of data to share.
Bottom line is that connscan may have missed (and miss reported) some connections (see memory image).
2 IPs are missing and note the ports recorded by cports and those reported by V2.0 connscan. Check the attached xls search hits, where did port 1088 and 1064 come from?
I can provide a copy of the memory image! Imager is win32dd.exe.
Here is the IP connection record I have from cports:

Attached is search results of the memory image, with memory offsets. (A few are dups and that may be the Win32dd imager)
Where did ports 1088 and 1064 come from?
If anyone wants a copy of the memory image, it is 115 MB
Mike
