How to use PyDbg as a powerful multitasking debugger

Brian Mariani & Frederic Bourla from High-Tech Bridge has published interesting whitepaper "How to use PyDbg as a powerful multitasking debugger". The mean of publication is to provide a reader with an introduction to the Python based debugger and deliver practical and real examples of this powerful security tool usage.

Excerpt from the article (page 2):

The debugger’s goal

  • When a program crashes for some reason it is often hard to realize what happened without using the appropriate tool.
  • A debugging tool is a program which aims to analyze other programs.
  • The main interest when using a debugger is to analyze the code behavior or to find a bug in another program.
  • A debugger allows a programmer or a researcher to quickly identify the cause of a problem in the code.
