Memory Analysis Patterns
Developing Drivers with the Windows Driver Foundation
Thu, 05/17/2007 - 00:11 — Dmitry Vostokov
Author:
Penny Orwick, Guy Smith
Review:
The book arrived today and I like it. Certainly when more and more drivers are WDF (KMDF or UMDF) and you start getting crash dumps you will definitely need to understand this framework. So you better start reading about it in advance. Additional covered topics are ETW (event tracing for Windows), WinDbg extensions, PREfast and static driver verifier. Highly recommended.
