- mauvehaus 2y agoSoftIce predates me, but when I was doing filesystem filter driver work, the tool of choice was WinDbg. Been out of the trade for a bit, but it looks to still be in use. We had it set up between a couple of VMs on VMware.
- Dwedit 2y agoYou'd use WinDBG today. It allows you to do remote kernel debugging over a network. This also includes running Windows in a virtual machine, and debugging it through the private network connection.
- gonesilent 2y agoFireWire is also still used to dump out kernel debug.
- the8472 2y agoShouldn't IOMMUs block that these days?
