 Forums >>  Debuggers  >>  Non invasive debugging ?

Topic created on: July 2, 2009 13:25 CDT by sft .

Hey,
I'm trying to debug some application but it seems to be quite restricted while being debugged, I've stripped most of it's protections (it's win32-based PE) yet the debugger keeps failing at debugging what's needed
I've digged a bit and found that there's something called "non-invasive debugging" is there any debugger out implemented that way (beside windbg) for win32 ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Check this out:

Hmm, I wouldn't call it 'non-invasive' (the author calls it non-itrusive, but its almost the same), but it's interesting anyway, since it is not using Debugger API nor ring0 tricks.

However I did have some trouble using it ;< Hope you'll have better luck!

Take care!
G.C.

CreateToolhelp32Snapshot is very intrusive, since it inserts a thread in the target process, in order to gather certain information about that process.  This new thread is detected easily by the target process, and can cause a hostile reaction.  NtQueryInformationProcess should be used instead.
