MAS scripts should be safe, but what about Windows iso you can download from MASSGRAVE website
I recently asked if MAS was save to activate windows, it turns out it was as I hoped.
However, I've one last doubt: I downloaded the iso from MASSGRAVE (it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso) and I installed that already.
Also, I logged in my accounts and used sensible passwords already, should I be worried about this? (I ask because some pirates said the ISO should have been downloaded from Microsoft website :/ ).
Please let me know your opinions
You can always download the ISO from Microsoft's site. Just spoof your User Agent's OS to Linux and it will automatically redirect you to a Windows ISO download page.
I managed to download a legti ISO by spoofing my user agent to linux, I'll check the checksum of the two ISO I have asap
Wait really? What's the site, just go to microsoft.com or something with linux and it redirects you? That's hilariously petty but also useful lmao.
I downloaded them with this method "Win10_22H2_Italian_x64v1.iso" but the checksum is different, sadly. I don't know if it's a different version though, the file I have from massgrave is named "it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso"
Always download your Windows ISOs from MS directly: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO?msockid=1f1e1899fbc26e530dcb0cebfa3f6f8b
The moment you get them from somewhere else, no, it cannot be deemed 100% safe.
I've done quite a of setup already so it'd be annoying, even changing password is. I'll see what I can do next month as I'm to buys the next weekdays and weekends
You can check the md5 hash checksum provided by Microsoft to verify the authenticity. Massgrave gets it from Microsoft, it's a legit ISO just rehosted.
Ty, I also think this. It wouldn't be logic to offer a safe scrips but malware injected ISOs
Did you check the md5? If they were different, it could be anything (it doesn't imply modifications from massgrave either)
As for logic, bad actors would do anything. Even hijacking a server and replacing the ISOs of other hackers, or infiltrate the group and do so.
You can calculate the hash of your iso and compare it with Microsoft

ty I checked the SHA256 and MD5 with Get-File-Hash and they match
I'm wondering how can you trust this site though?
You can calculate the hash for your iso and compare it with Microsoft
its obtained from Microsoft https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/securedownloads/
issue is to download it directly this way from MS you need a MSDN registered account
https://www.reddit.com/r/SCCM/comments/vux54e/where_to_download_msdn_isos/
but the hash is same as listed on the other page
I want to use their script on idm but it doesn't work anymore What I should do and I can't use Coplilot with excel with their script
If you’re truly worried, change passwords and reinstall from the official ISO from Microsoft now. Do it now before the paranoia gets to you in a few weeks/months/however long and you throw out all the work you did in that time. I personally don’t think you’ve got much to worry about (were the checksums the same from both sources?) but I don’t know what your paranoia level is. Doesn’t sound like you’ve done a bunch of setup yet so reinstalling wouldn’t take long; might as well do it now rather than later is my reasoning.
