I started writing this article because I wanted to organize resources for learning Windows debugging and dump analysis with WinDbg from the ground up.

\n

In my day job, I often have to analyze memory dumps and process dumps for troubleshooting, but I feel there is still very little clear information on effective investigation techniques for identifying the root cause of each problem.

\n

Because of that, I often end up analyzing things by trial and error, and I kept wishing there were a richer body of knowledge on analysis techniques using WinDbg.

\n

However, since I couldn’t find many useful resources, I decided to start sharing the information myself and publish organized notes on analysis techniques with WinDbg.

\n

As of 2021/10/02, there are still only a few articles, but my goal is to eventually organize posts by purpose and cover various WinDbg analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques.

\n

All published articles are organized below.

Notes

\n

The sample programs used for analysis in each article are all stored in the following repository.

\n

Sample programs: kash1064/Try2WinDbg

\n

I also summarized how to compile the sample programs in the repository with symbol files (.pdb files) in the following article.
