Capabilities of OllyDbg:
OllyDbg is an x86 debugger that emphasizes
binary code analysis, which is useful when source code is not
available.
- Debugs multithread applications
- Attaches to running programs
- Configurable disassembler, supports both MASM and IDEAL
formats
- MMX, 3DNow! and SSE data types and instructions, including
Athlon extensions
- Full UNICODE support
- Dynamically recognizes ASCII and UNICODE strings - also in
Delphi format!
- Recognizes complex code constructs, like call to jump to
procedure
- Decodes calls to more than 1900 standard API and 400 C
functions
- Gives context-sensitive help on API functions from external
help file
- Sets conditional, logging, memory and hardware breakpoints
- Traces program execution, logs arguments of known
functions
- Shows fixups
- Dynamically traces stack frames
- Searches for imprecise commands and masked binary
sequences
- Searches whole allocated memory
- Finds references to constant or address range
- Examines and modifies memory, sets breakpoints and pauses
program on-the-fly
- Assembles commands into the shortest binary form
- Starts from the floppy disk
Interface:
- Intuitive user interface, no cryptical commands
- Code analysis - traces registers, recognizes procedures, loops,
API calls, switches, tables, constants and strings
- Directly loads and debugs DLLs
- Object file scanning - locates routines from object files and
libraries
- Allows for user-defined labels, comments and function
descriptions
- Understands debugging information in Borland®
format
- Saves patches between sessions, writes them back to executable
file and updates fixups
- Open architecture - many third-party plugins are available
- No installation - no trash in registry or system
directories
Rebasing:
Rebasing is the process of creating a shared library image in
such a way that it is guaranteed to use virtual memory without
conflicting with any other shared libraries loadable in the
system.
