Crash Dump Analysis

2009 (0x7D9) - The Year of Debugging

Let’s define Zippocricy - common sin in software support environments worldwide: someone gets something from a customer in archived form and without checking the contents forwards it further to another person in support chain. By the time the evidence gets unzipped somewhere, checked and found corrupt or irrelevant the customer suffers not hours but days.

Happens not only with crash dumps but with any type of problem evidence.
