This was posted, willingly, by “haxNode” on 1337x. At the bottom of his uploads, like usual, but this seems really bad. Is it just a severe overreaction to the keygen? Am I right not to trust haxNode, even in 1337x? What do you guys think?

    Looking at the behaviour, this is some really shady piece of software, changing credentials, adding scheduled tasks as an admin, etc.

    Avoid.

    Not going to tell you it’s safe but if its a keygen they’ve always been flagged by most antivirus and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an actual patch needed for a keygen to work.

    To be fair though I don’t know enough about the whole situation and I’d say go with your gut or test it in a vm or similar .

    Which url did you use for 1337x? There are lots of copies there just serve malware

    Most people stick to 1337x .to

    But .to isn’t 100% safe either. Just worth asking

    I’ve always used .to

    That’s never been an issue before for me. All the software posts now are either haxNode or crackshash. It’s dissapointing.

    I wouldn’t trust it. If you have to get a key then do it in a non networked VM . screenshot the key from the host and then delete the VM.
