See Free Sysinternals Windows utilities now available online, 24/7 | Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com
To access the complete library of tools, use either of these methods from a Windows-based PC:
* Go to the Sysinternals Live directory ([live.sysinternals.com - /](http://live.sysinternals.com)) and click the name of the tool you want to run. Because the directory listing is a bare-bones HTML file, it can be used in any browser.
* If you know the name of the executable file for the tool you want to use, enter it directly, using the syntax \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\<toolname>, where <toolname> is the name of the executable file. (Note the UNC syntax uses backslashes, not slashes, as in a URL. Start with a pair of backslashes to indicate that live.sysinternals.com is the remote server, and don’t include the angle brackets with the tool name.)
Awesome, access via web or direct share! Got to try this when I get home…
Doesn’t really run from your browser. Just allows you to save the file and run it, or run it from the temp directory.
browser, bah… i got a kick out of opening the shared folder in explorer \live.sysinternals.com\tools
handy link to remember…
now i bet this will get exploited to run malicious files off a malicious server after the DNS gets hijacked or something… 
The UNC share is amazing… simply amazing.
And it shows how good SMB really is - NFS 4.0 over the internet (which it was specifically designed for) is still not a common deployment.
I am not sure what people are really complaining about - if you type in kernell.org and download a fake kernel (I don’t think such a website exists), you are equally hosed. Or if you download a fake AV from symantek.com. Or whatever. If you want end to end security DON’T DEPEND ON UNSECURED DNS (or the user correctly typing in website names). And only used digitally signed components!
The goal of this site is really to be able to troubleshoot computers that you don’t have your entire toolkit on. Normally you’d have to find, download, extract. This way you can just download all the utilities from a single location. That is the only difference. I think it is a good idea, but frankly, if you want to be secure (and able to diagnose errors), you’d probably be smart and setup an internal share with these tools anyway (a private mirror of this site)
