Description: Tips for the practical use of debuggers, such as NuMega Softice, Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger, and Microsoft Kernel Debugger, with minimum binding to a specific environment are disclosed in the code-digger guide. How debuggers operate and how to overcome obstacles and repair debuggers is demonstrated. Programmers will learn how to look at what is inside a computer system, how to reconstruct the operating algorithm of a program distributed without source code, how to modify the program, and how to debut drivers. The use of debugging applications and drivers in Windows and Unix operating systems on Intel Pentium/DEC Alpha-based processors is also detailed. The book is oriented toward most programmers with intermediate skills in C/C++ or Pascal/Delphi languages. Knowledge of assembly language and a fundamental understanding of processor and operating system architecture will be beneficial.
