Flag: Tornado! Hurricane!

Article Abstract Process Stalker is a tool-set I put together that is capable of visually producing run-time profiles, state mapping and tracing. The goal of a successful stalk is to provide the reverse engineer with a targeted and intuitive interface to run-time block-level trace data.

This article serves as an intro-by-example to Process Stalker (Note: Process Stalker has since been deprecated by PaiMei) by providing a walk-through of the MS05-030 Microsoft Outlook Express NNTP Response Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability. Further details, source code, binaries and manuals are available in the bundled Process Stalker archive available from the downloads page.

Much appreciated, thanks. There are some bug fixes I have made in response to community feedback that will be included in an updated release tomorrow. They are:

- gml.py: Fixed bug in parsing of GDE saved GML files.
- ps_state_mapper.py: Fixed bug in handling of filename arguments containing directory modifiers. ex: './seh.gml' and '../seh.gml'.
- process_stalker.exe: Replaced reliance on DebugActiveProcessStop() and DebugSetProcessKillOnExit() function resolution with dynamic function loading. This was preventing the tracer from running on systems that don't support the API such as Windows 2000.
