Original (pre-Microsoft) SysInternals utilities

Sysinternals original logoIf you were a big fan of SysInternals before Microsoft went and bought them, you might be interested in this extremely unofficial list of their utilities from their pre-Microsoft days. Now for the warnings: we have not downloaded or tried any of these utilities, and do not recommend that you do so. Of course downloading files from an unofficial source is unwise for all sorts of security-related reasons, particularly utilities that function at the low level that SysInternals utilities do. Further, being that Microsoft now owns SysInternals, downloading these files is almost certainly not allowed.

In fact, we suggest that if you're interested in the SysInternals utilities, check out Microsoft's SysInternals site and grab them from there. It's highly likely that once Microsoft catches wind of this unofficial listing of files, they'll get it shut down in short order.
