Abstract:
When a module is loaded by the operating system kernel, dynamic information of the module, such as the memory addresses of the different sections of the module allocated by the operating system, is stored in a known variable, which is subsequently accessible by the debugging tool. Furthermore, an interrupt instruction that will allow the debugger to interrupt the running of the operating system following the complete loading of the module is inserted into the debugging tool in such a way as to retrieve the dynamic information necessary for the debugging of the module.
