ABSTRACT:
A method for capturing the state of a running computer system for the purpose of performing debugging or some other analysis involves registering a user-customized filter function with the computer system's kernel, passing internal objects in the computer system through the filter-function, and capturing only internal objects satisfying the filter function. The filter function filters one or more categories of internal objects in a single serialized pass and is installed into a kernel extension, the kernel extension comprises a module capable of being loaded onto and unloaded from a running computer system, and the kernel is programmed to capture internal objects in the computer system.
