Memory Map Visualization Tools (Revised)

Yesterday I discovered the blog j00ru//vx where I was pleased to see another memory visualization approach which I classify as synthetic:

x86 Kernel Memory Space Visualization (KernelMAP v0.0.1)

So far now I put a bit more extended (but in no way complete) classification with links (based on my previous blog post where every category is presented in chronological order of my encounter with links):

1. Synthetic

2. Natural

a. Static

b. Semi-dynamic

c. Dynamic 

Please let me know any other approaches or links you know. 

PS. I’m currently a big fan of artificial evolution and recommend this fantastic full-color book that has good ideas about expression-based visualization:

The Art of Artificial Evolution: A Handbook on Evolutionary Art and Music (Natural Computing Series)

    I wrote something similar to this, and we use it all the time at my job to track down memory issues. It runs out of proc, and updates a OpenGL view of virtual memory address space, in real time.

    Be careful tho, cause I think that is an early version and that DLLinjection code I use leaks memory.
