ProcDump Thorough IDB

After some deliberation, I have decided to release my thorough IDB for ProcDump 1.62 final, which is substantially more detailed than the original ASM source code itself.  If you care to study it, you can learn a great deal about coding dynamic reversing tools and static reversing.  

At the time I analyzed this, in late 2003, it was the largest binary that I'd attempted.  My analysis style was somewhat immature and sporadic, and so you shouldn't try to emulate anything you see inside of it.  (It took another six months after this to perfect my static technique.)

I hope that the ProcDump authors aren't upset about this; after all, ProcDump is nine years old and has since been succeeded by ImpRec, OllyDump, NTICEDUMP, etc.  Greets to the ProcDump team, and thanks for their valuable contribution (which ultimately shaped the direction of dynamic tools for years to come).

This is a good example for the power of the hexrays decompiler
plugin for IDA...

Sure, it's like running hexrays on an ms binary with
debug symbols applied (with the exception ms binaries
usually not being written in 100% asm code) ;-)
