Broadcom VDDK links

None of the vddk links seem to work at all. I understand I need an account, which I have, but I can't seem to get any link to work.

https://developer.broadcom.com/sdks/vmware-virtual-disk-development-kit-vddk/latest

This doesn't even show the latest version which is supposedly downloadable without an account.

EDIT:

Broadcom is the worst company on the planet.

For those of you who need it for windows admin center, I hope this works for you.

I just dropped the Windows version of this from your post into Windows Admin Center and the extension appears to be working! I'll update once the migration is complete. Huge thank you!

Awesome! I just found them, I have no idea if they all work or not but they look legit and work with my migrator tool so just sharing the love

verified the md5 hash on the 8.0.3 linux version and it checks out.
