Accelerated Rust Windows Memory Dump Analysis

About the Book

The book contains the full Software Diagnostics Services training transcript and ten step-by-step exercises. It covers dozens of crash dump analysis patterns from the x64 process and complete (physical) memory dumps. Learn how to analyze Rust application crashes and freezes, navigate through memory dump space, and diagnose heap corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and more with the WinDbg debugger. The training uses a unique and innovative pattern-oriented analysis approach developed by the Software Diagnostics Institute to speed up the learning curve, and it is structurally based on the latest 6th revised edition of the bestselling Accelerated Windows Memory Dump Analysis book with the focus on safe and unsafe Rust code and its interfacing with the Windows OS. The training is useful whether you come to Rust from C and C++ or interpreted languages like Python and facilitates memory thinking when programming in Rust.

Prerequisites: Basic Windows troubleshooting and working knowledge of Rust.

Audience: Software technical support and escalation engineers, system administrators, security and vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, malware and memory forensics analysts, DevSecOps and SRE, software developers, system programmers, and quality assurance engineers.

Dmitry Vostokov

Dmitry Vostokov is an internationally recognized expert, speaker, educator, scientist, inventor, and author. He is the founder of pattern-oriented software diagnostics, forensics, and prognostics discipline (Systematic Software Diagnostics), and Software Diagnostics Institute. Vostokov has also authored more than 50 books on software diagnostics, anomaly detection and analysis, software and memory forensics, root cause analysis and problem solving, memory dump analysis, debugging, software trace and log analysis, reverse engineering and malware analysis. He has more than 25 years of experience in software architecture, design, development and maintenance in a variety of industries including leadership, technical and people management roles. Dmitry also founded Syndromatix, Anolog.io, BriteTrace, DiaThings, Logtellect, OpenTask Iterative and Incremental Publishing, Software Diagnostics Technology and Services (former Memory Dump Analysis Services), and Software Prognostics. In his spare time, he presents various topics on Debugging TV and explores Software Narratology, its further development as Narratology of Things and Diagnostics of Things (DoT), Software Pathology, and Quantum Software Diagnostics. His current areas of interest are theoretical software diagnostics and its mathematical and computer science foundations, application of formal logic, artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining to diagnostics and anomaly detection, software diagnostics engineering and diagnostics-driven development, diagnostics workflow and interaction. Recent interest areas also include cloud native computing, security, automation, functional programming, applications of category theory to software diagnostics, development and big data, and diagnostics of artificial intelligence.
