Software Diagnostics Library

Got an insider information from Memory Dump Analysis Services that they are developing a Prolog extension for memory dump analysis. Indeed, after asking their development team, I got a proof of concept extension DLL that works on my computer after installing x64 version of SWI-Prolog and copying wdes.dll to pl \ bin installation folder:

0: kd> .load C:\Program Files\pl\bin\wdes.dll

0: kd> !help
Help for Windows Debugging Expert System wdes.dll
   help               - Shows this help
   pload              - Loads Prolog interpretor

0: kd> !pload
SWI-Prolog has been loaded

So far so good. Waiting for more extension commands. Perhaps, one day, this extension realizes my dream reminisced while testing a Python extension.

TestDefaultDebugger has been updated to version 2.0 with the following new features:

- Renamed to TestWER to reflect the shift from default debuggers to WER and LocalDumps (W2K8, Vista and Windows 7)

- The ability to generate software exceptions (by default TestWER generates hardware NULL pointer access violation exception)

- An option to handle generated exceptions (hardware and software) to test such scenarios

- Symbol PDB files are included in the package

Here’s an example stack trace when we select a software exception option and push the big button:

Here’s WinDbg output when we choose to handle exceptions:

0:001> g

First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

Our sponsor, Memory Dump Analysis Services has published common questions and answers regarding their operation and competitive advantage over traditional software support organizations:

http://www.dumpanalysis.com/common-qa 

I like their bold statement that they don’t have any competitors because they are one step further by providing an audit. This reminds me the statement I learnt from school: Marxism is all powerful because it is true.

Memory Dump Analysis Services announces the launch of CollaborativeA3System for its new and existing customers:

“… is a way to report and discuss memory dump analysis using using well-known and time-proven iterative and incremental processes. Several corporate users can view, comment on and learn various aspects of an analysis report gradually improving initial preliminary analysis to its final deliverable form.”

One of the great surprises in 2010 was the popularity of WinDbg.org page. I had never thought it was so popular! Originally forwarded to a subdomain of Crash Dump Analysis Portal when introduced in February, 2008 as a way to quickly download Debugging Tools for Windows and set up symbols it was made a full domain in July, 2010 with corresponding Google Analytics setup. Since then it enjoys 7,000 - 9,000 visits per month with almost 93% return rate with Microsoft, Intel, HP, Road Runner, Dell, Citrix, EMC, CA, Samsung, Cisco, Symantec, AMD, IBM, Oracle, and McAfee among its biggest users. I myself find it very useful in the field when I need to quickly setup debugging components. To the best of my knowledge the page remains the fastest way to that. There will be more useful information linked to it in 2011.

Another trend is the rise of the online version of Debugged! MZ/PE magazine that was completely redesigned in August, 2010 and now approaches 2,000 visitors per month. In 2011 there are some new initiatives coming for this online magazine.

The Year of Dump Analysis, 0×7DA, was another remarkable year for DumpAnalysis.org. Here is the list of major achievements to report:

- Proposed software narratological framework

- Extended the concept of multithreading with adjoint threading

- After recognizing victimware as a counterpart to crimeware established Victimware.org (currently points to Memory Dump, Software Trace, Debugging and Malware Analysis Portal)

- Established the Dublin School of Security

- Proposed using category theory for memory dump analysis as an alternative to set-theoretical frameworks

- Secured the first Memory Dump Analysis Audit Service and its subsidiary Tool Objects: Unified Troubleshooting and Debugging to become portal sponsors

- Completely redesigned Debugging Experts Magazine Online

- Contributed to two issues of Debugged! MZ/PE magazine: Multithreading and Tools for Software Problem Solving

- Published the 4th volume of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology with color supplement

- Prepared material for the 5th volume of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology (to be published in January, 2011)

- Organized the first Debugging Jokes Competition and the first Tell Your Windows Debugging Story Competition

- Established the Metaphysical Society of Ireland to promote memory dump worldview

- Helped to deliver Fundamentals of Complete Crash and Hang Memory Dump Analysis webinar

- Established the Museum of Debugging and Memory Dumps (the 1st exhibition opens in 2011)

- Introduced Unified Debugging patterns, Workaround patterns and Structural Memory Analysis patterns

- Proposed and organized the first Memory Analysts and Debuggers Day (to be celebrated annually)

- Continued working on CARE research project and published its reference architecture

- Unified memory dump and software trace analysis patterns as software behavior patterns

- Memory Dump Analysis Anthology got international recognition when Korean translation of 1st volume was published

… and much more including many new memory dump and software trace analysis patterns, pattern icons, pattern models, and pattern-driven analysis case studies.

According to Google Analytics the number of visits / year increased by 0.7% since 2009 with almost 156,000 unique visitors (1% increase) from 184 countries (183 in 2009) and more than 33% of them are coming back. 1,322 visits were via 12 mobile operating systems (512% increase). Here are the top 100 network locations out of 28,612 (1% increase):

Almost 71,000 Google search keywords pointed to the portal and this blog with 100 most frequent (some are in Russian):

Special thanks to more than 1,100 web sites that mention the portal and this blog with the first top 100:

Top 25 visiting countries:

More than 9,000 portal and blog pages were viewed a total of almost 387,000 times with top 100 content pages:

GI Index (Google Insights for Search) shows that crash dump analysis and debugging slowly decline in popularity:

GI for memory dump analysis searches coincides with the birth of DumpAnalysis.org in later 2006 (the only mystery for me is mid 2005 peak):

The birth of memory dump analysis as a discipline probably reinforced the emergence of memory forensics in the early 2006:

We also see that malware analysis is on the rise and it is not a surprise that DumpAnalysis.org is moving to MARS:

Perhaps mid 2005 peak for memory dump analysis searches coincides with the interest in malware analysis.

- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org + TraceAnalysis.org -

With the new year starts the new initiative to integrate traditional multidisciplinary debugging approaches and methodologies with multiplatform pattern-driven software problem solving, unified debugging patterns, best practices in memory dump analysis and software tracing, computer security, economics, and the new emerging trends I’m going to write about during this year.

As the new decade is approaching (2011-2020) we would like to make a few previews and predictions:

- Increased complexity of software will bring more methods from biological, social sciences and humanities in addition to existing methods of automated debugging and computer science techniques

- Focus on first fault software problem solving (when aspect)

- Focus on pattern-driven software problem solving (how aspect)

- Fusion of debugging and malware analysis into a unified structural and behavioral pattern framework

- Visual debugging, memory and software trace visualization techniques

- Software maintenance certification

- Focus on domain-driven troubleshooting and debugging tools as a service (debugware TaaS)

- Focus on security issues related to memory dumps and software traces

- New scripting languages and programming language extensions for debugging

- The maturation of the science of memory snapshots and software traces (memoretics)

Imagining is not not limited to the above and more to come and explain in the forthcoming parts.

Due to many requests especially from the readers of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology I’ve published symbol files for TestDefaultDebugger tools (TestDefaultDebugger.exe and TestDefaultDebugger64.exe). They can be downloaded from this location:

This is the main topic of the forthcoming December Debugged! MZ/PE magazine issue:

Debugged! MZ/PE: Tools for Software Problem Solving, December, 2010 (Paperback, ISBN: 978-1908043023)

The draft front cover symbolizes an element of randomness and chance exceptions in software problem solving.
