I don't know if these files are legitimate especially since you're a resident one post wonder. Still, I'd test out the files but at the moment I don't have a machine with Windows XP SP3 installed. :/

Anaron,

These files are from the SP3 RTM and I use the same patching since SP2 but to be honest I didn't test them if they worked with SP3. One thing is sure... the same patches for SP2 worked great and was time tested.

I'm gonna test these new files on my side to be sure of the quality.

...

Can you describe a systematic procedure to patch the SFC_OD.DLL file in any language? Here is reported a method that disable WFP on SP3 RTM, but it works only with a registry mofication.

Thanks

I can't have a look of all languages version of this dll but if it can help, I'll try to give you the informations that you *should* need.

To avoid the need of a registry edits to make the patch working, all other values of SFCDisable must be skipped. This is why my patch do a jump where it have to, like if SFCDisable was FFFFFF9D all the time (no matter what the real value is).

At the hexadecimal offset EC84 (or around this offset) you should find the following assembly...

cmp eax, FFFFFF9D ; 83F89D

jne 76C1F891 ; 7508

xor eax, eax ; 33C0

inc eax ; 40

Which is translate to machine code as 83F89D750833C040

You need to search for this byte patterns and replace these 8 bytes by 3BC0EB3290909090

cmp eax, eax ; 3BC0

jmp 76C1F8BA ; EB32

nop ; 90

nop ; 90

nop ; 90

nop ; 90

Hope it helps

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
