The Intel Pro card (preferably PRO/1000 MT Desktop). Important note: in the “Advanced” section, select one of Linked to the same interface as the one specified on the host When preparing the VM, make sure to add an extra Network Card as Host-Only, and the debuggee must be running Windows 8 or later.you must use a compatible network adapter (not so much a problem for.IMHO, this method is the best and fastest method to debug Windows kernel, but it
Setup Network kernel debugging for the Windows 8+ target Is a Windows 8+, my favorite kernel debugging method is Network based, asĭetailed below. Is why projects like VirtualKD came to life, but personnally, if the target VM Port debugging will drastically slow down all operations on the debuggee. You’re now debugging the Windows 7 x86 VM kernel!! But as you’ll see, Serial Using bcdedit utility: C:\> bcdedit /copy on To enable it, start the Windows 7 debuggee VM, open a cmd.exe asĪdministrator, and add another entry to the boot loader Later ( python, ConEmu, HxD etc.) Setup UART debugging on the Windows 7 targetĪll OS can be kernel-debugged via Serial Port (or UART). Additionally, you can script it to install more tools useful for To going through downloading and installing the SDK from MS Quick way, is to use Chocolatey in an administrator prompt to install itĪs such: C:\> -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object ).DownloadString(''))" & SET "PATH=%PATH% %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"Īlthough this won’t install the very latest WinDBG, this approach is convenient Now the debugger is ready, you need to install WinDBG as the kernel debugger. Pipe will be the relay VirtualBox will use to communicate between theĭebugger and debuggee through UART. Path in the “Path/Address” field (for example /tmp/win7-kd-pipe). Select Host Pipe as “Port Mode” and enter a local You want, just remember it, as you’ll need to specify it to WinDBG the In the “Serial Ports” tab, enable one port.Once the VM is created and Windows properly installed, edit the VM settings in Windows VM like this $ git clone Windows7Īnd go grab a coffee ☕ Preparing the Debugger VM Windows 8.1 圆4 VM (using Network as debugging medium)Ĭreation process using Vagrant.Windows 7 x86 VM (using UART as debugging medium).I like working on a Linux host, so using VirtualKD Topic, so you might probably be more interested into reading those 😁 Other people did a fantastic job covering the same Note: there is nothing ground-breaking here, those posts are mostly notes and Host, VirtualBox as hypervisor and Windows virtual images from Modern.IE.
