Unified Software Diagnostics and Pattern-Driven Software Support

Welcome to the new scalable and cost-effective software support model devised to address various shortcomings in existing tiered software support organizations. Don't miss an opportunity to learn about its foundation during a free Webinar organized by Memory Dump Analysis Services:

Victimware: The Missing Part of the Equation

Some software components are innocent victims of other component coding mistakes or deliberate subversion and some start as a part of crimeware and malware but eventually become victims themselves (they crash, hang, spike, leak, are dumped, subverted, etc). Learn about unified malware and victimware analysis by using behavioral and structural patterns including a live memory dump analysis example.

x86/x64 Assembly Language and Windows Debugging

Due to many questions on recommended books to learn assembly language for debugging purposes we provide these references:

Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations
x64 Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations

Each book can be read independently although some platform-independent content overlaps. x64 bit book focuses on 64-bit only.

We believe these books provide all necessary motivation, context and practical foundation for other in-depth assembly language textbooks on the market.

The similar book for x64 Mac OS X is in preparation.

Forthcoming Webinar: Introduction to Software Narratology

The first Webinar to introduce software narratology: an application of ideas from narratology to software narrative stories.

Introduction to Software Narratology: An Applied Science of Software Stories Logo

Software Diagnostics Services (PatternDiagnostics.com) organizes a free Webinar:

Learn about this exciting new discipline and a field of research founded by us. When software executes it gives us its stories in the form of UI events, software traces and logs. Such stories can be analyzed for their structure and patterns for troubleshooting, debugging and problem resolution purposes.

Prerequisites: basic software troubleshooting and ability to read software generated logs.

Audience: anyone can benefit from this new perspective: from software users to software engineers and managers.

Happy Holidays and New Year of Software Trace Analysis!

We wish you all the best for the forthcoming year 2012. Let it be a spiking year for you! We created a special picture based on CPU and memory timing diagram (an optimistic version of the original computicart):

2012 - The Year of Software Trace Analysis

The Debugging Community Project: The Anthology of Debugging

Useful debugging information, techniques, examples, best practices, tool tips and tricks are scattered across many blogs and websites. It is often hard to find what one is needed for problem resolution. OpenTask publisher plans a multi-volume project tentatively called The Anthology of Debugging to compile the best of independent articles and blog posts into printed and digital volumes. Additional topics of interest to debuggers will include but not limited to internals, disassembling and reverse engineering, source and binary code analysis.

The first volume is projected to be published after this summer (ISBN: 978-1908043276). All potential authors will be contacted for their permission, will retain their copyright and their included articles will point to the original source. Additionally, the participants will have an opportunity to include a short bio and other relevant information.

Memory Analysis as a Service

MAaaS includes 2 complementary DA+TA services:

1. Dump Analysis as a Service (DAaaS)
2. Trace Analysis as a Service (TAaaS)

Memory Dump Analysis Services is the first organization to provide such a service at an audit and certification levels.

Crash and Hang Analysis Audit Service

Problem: You are not satisfied with a crash report.

Problem: Your critical issue is escalated to the VP level. Engineers analyze memory dumps and software traces. No definite conclusion so far. You want to be sure that nothing has been omitted from the analysis.

Problem: You analyze a system dump or a software trace. You need a second pair of eyes but don't want to send your memory dump due to your company security policies.

Problem: You are a novice and need expert pattern-driven analysis of your crash and hang memory dump files or debugger logs.

Resolution: Memory Dump Analysis Services analyzes your analysis and provides recommendations.

Debugging Joke Competition

As the Year of Dump Analysis 0x7DA (2010) comes closer to the end and the DeBugging decade starts 0x7DB (2011) soon we organize Debugging Joke Competition with the results announced on the 1st of January, 2011 (if Internet works). Please send your jokes using this contact form:

http://www.dumpanalysis.org/contact

Winners get signed (by Dr. DebugLove) copies of Dr. Debugalov book and the forthcoming full color coffee table book Spikes, Hangs, Crashes, Leaks and Dumps of Imagination: The Art of the Debugging Art.

Update: The rules have been extended to include graphical jokes and pictures!

In addition appropriate images may also be included with full credits in the forthcoming Debugging Humor exhibition in the Museum of Debugging and Memory Dumps.
