DebuggingKernelModeDriversDebug Universal Drivers Step by Step Lab Echo Kernel ModeThis lab introduces the Win. Dbg kernel debugger. Win. Dbg is used to debug the echo kernel mode sample driver code. Lab objectives. This lab includes exercises that introduce the debugging tools, teach common debugging commands, illustrate the use of break points, and show the use of the debugging extensions. In this lab, a live kernel debug connection is used to explore the following Use the Windows debugger commands. This lab introduces the WinDbg kernel debugger. WinDbg is used to debug the echo kernel mode sample driver code. Note If the Windows Special Administration Console SAC application is running on a target machine that is configured for kernel mode debug through a serial port. Testing USB Host Controller Drivers. Youre likely to be interested in this if youre maintaining a USB Host Controller Driver HCD, especially if its one thats. Analysts Perspective Analyzing User Mode State from a Kernel Connection The NT Insider, Volume 18, Issue 1, JanuaryFebruary 2011 Published 25Jan11 Modified. Steve Friedls Unixwiz. Tech Tips Converting Win32 Kernelmode Print Drivers to User Mode. The Linux API is the kerneluser space API, which allows programs in user space to access system resources and services of the Linux kernel. It is composed out of. Jane`S Fleet Command Xp Patch. The kernel is a computer program that is the core of a computers operating system, with complete control over everything in the system. On most systems, it is one of. Debugging Kernel Mode Drivers' title='Debugging Kernel Mode Drivers' />Use standard commands Call stacks, variables, threads, IRQLUse advanced driver debugging commands Use symbols. Set breakpoints in live debugging. View call stacks. Display the Plug and Play device tree. Work with thread and process context. Note When working with the Windows debugger, there are two types of debugging that can be performed user or kernel mode debugging. User mode Applications and subsystems run on the computer in user mode. Processes that run in user mode do so within their own virtual address spaces. They are restricted from gaining direct access to many parts of the system, including system hardware, memory that was not allocated for their use, and other portions of the system that might compromise system integrity. Debugging Kernel Mode Drivers' title='Debugging Kernel Mode Drivers' />INTERACTIVE CONTROL. Because processes that run in user mode are effectively isolated from the system and other user mode processes, they cannot interfere with these resources. Kernel mode Kernel mode is the processor access mode in which the operating system and privileged programs run. Kernel mode code has permission to access any part of the system, and is not restricted like user mode code. It can gain access to any part of any other process running in either user mode or kernel mode. Much of the core OS functionality and many hardware device drivers run in kernel mode. This lab will focus on kernel mode debugging, as that is the method used to debug many device drivers.

Windows Driver Frameworks WDF is a set of libraries that you can use to develop device drivers that are interoperable with Windows. WDF is comprised of KernelMode.

The exercise also covers debug extensions sometimes called Lab setup. You will need the following hardware to be able to complete the lab. A laptop or desktop computer host running Windows 1. A laptop or desktop computer target running Windows 1. Debugging Kernel Mode Drivers' title='Debugging Kernel Mode Drivers' />A network cross over cable or a network hub and network cables to connect the two PCs. Access to the internet to download symbol files. You will need the following software to be able to complete the lab. Visual Studio 2. 01. Windows Software Development Kit SDK for Windows 1. Windows Driver Kit WDK for Windows 1. The sample echo driver for Windows 1. The lab has the following eleven sections. Section 1 Connect to a kernel mode Win. Dbg session. In Section 1, you will configure network debugging on the host and target system. The PCs in this lab need to be configured to use an Ethernet network connection for kernel debugging. This lab uses two PCs. Windows debugger runs on the host system and the KMDF Echo driver runs on the target system. The lt Host on the left is connected using a cross over ethernet cable to the Target on the right. The steps in the lab assume that you are using a cross over network cable, but the lab should also work if you can plug both the host and the target directly into a network hub. To work with kernel mode applications and use Win. Dbg, we recommend that you use the KDNET over Ethernet transport. For information about how to use the Ethernet transport protocol, see Getting Started with Win. Dbg Kernel Mode. For more information about setting up the target computer, see Preparing a Computer for Manual Driver Deployment and Setting Up Kernel Mode Debugging over a Network Cable Manually. Configure kernelmode debugging using a crossover ethernet cable. To enable kernel mode debugging on the target system, perform the following steps. On the host system. Open a command prompt on the host system and type ipconfig to determine its IP address. C ipconfig. Windows IP Configuration. Ethernet adapter Ethernet. Connection specific DNS Suffix. Link local IPv. 6 Address. Autoconfiguration IPv. Address. 1. 69. Subnet Mask. Default Gateway. Record the IP address of the host system On the target system. Open a command prompt on the target system and use the ping command to confirm network connectivity between the two systems. Use the IP address of the host system you recorded instead of the one shown in the sample output. C ping 1. 69. Pinging 1. Reply from 1. 69. TTL2. 55. Reply from 1. TTL2. 55. Reply from 1. TTL2. 55. Reply from 1. TTL2. 55. Ping statistics for 1. Packets Sent 4, Received 4, Lost 0 0 loss. Approximate round trip times in milli seconds. Minimum 0ms, Maximum 1ms, Average 0ms. Enable kernel mode debugging on the target system by completing the following steps. On the target computer, open a Command Prompt window as Administrator. Enter this command to enable debugging. C bcdedit set default DEBUG YES. Type this command to enable test signing. C bcdedit set TESTSIGNING ON. Type this command to set the IP address of the host system. Use the IP address of the host system that you recorded earlier, not the one shown. C bcdedit dbgsettings net hostip 1. Warning To increase the security of the connection and decrease the risk of the random client debugger connection requests, consider using an auto generated random key. For more information, see Setting Up Kernel Mode Debugging over a Network Cable Manually. Type this command to confirm that the dbgsettings they are set properly. C bcdedit dbgsettings. NET. hostip 1. Yes. The operation completed successfully. Note. Firewalls and debuggers. If you receive a pop up message from the firewall, and you wish to use the debugger, unblock the types of networks that you desire. On the host system. On the host computer, open a Command Prompt window as Administrator. Change to the Win. Dbg. exe directory. We will use the x. Win. Dbg. exe from the Windows Driver Kit WDK that was installed as part of the Windows kit installation. C Cd C Program Filesx. Windows Kits1. 0Debuggersx. Launch Win. Dbg with remote user debug using the following command. The value for the key and port match what we set earlier using BCDEdit on the target. Win. Dbg k net port5. On the target system. Reboot the target system. On the host system. In a minute or two, debug output should be displayed on the host system. The Debugger Command window is the primary debugging information window in Win. Dbg. You can enter debugger commands and view the command output in this window. The Debugger Command window is split into two panes. You type commands in the smaller pane the command entry pane at the bottom of the window and view the command output in the larger pane at the top of the window. In the command entry pane, use the up arrow and down arrow keys to scroll through the command history. When a command appears, you can edit it or press ENTER to run the command. Section 2 Kernel mode debugging commands and techniques. In Section 2, you will use debug commands to display information about the target system. On the host system. Enable Debugger Markup Language DML with. Some debug commands display text using Debugger Markup Language that you can click on to quickly gather more information. Use CtrlBreak Scroll Lock in Win. DBg to break into the code running on the target system.
