The copy of the xp_activate32 binary I have here is dated 16th February 2018 at 6:16:11 PM, which is when it was compiled. Press ought to catch up on a LOT of stuff these days…

You call the XP activation phone number, say no to the consent to being recorded, repeat the capitcha back to the automated system, and say yes to the link being texted to you. It sends you a link to a page where you specify your product, type in the installation ID, and get back an activation code. I just tested it today.

At least you can compile it and ensure you aren’t executing some trojan, even if the GUI keygen is friendlier.

About the private keys used… Leaked sources should have better blobs, unless the guys who wrote the original paper would have used precisely these already.
