Solid C and C++ knowledge is a must to fully understand Windows diagnostic artifacts such as memory dumps and do diagnostic, forensic, and root cause analysis beyond listing stack traces, DLL, and driver information. C and C++ for Windows Software Diagnostics training reviews the following topics from the perspective of software structure and behavior analysis and teaches C and C++ languages in parallel while demonstrating relevant code internals using WinDbg:
- a tour of relevant language(s) constructs - classic/legacy C++, C++11, and later standards including C++23
- Windows specifics
- pointers and references
- memory layout of structures and objects
- local, static, and dynamic memory
- object lifecycle
- standard library
- compilation, static and dynamic linkage
- multithreading and synchronization
- bad and insecure code
- … and more
The second version added 45 Visual Studio projects with more than 5,500 lines of code.
System and desktop application programming on Windows using C and C++ is unthinkable without Windows API. To avoid repeating some topics and save time, the training includes the Accelerated Windows API for Software Diagnostics book as a follow-up or additional reference. There is also a necessary x64 review for some topics, but if you are never used to reading assembly language, Practical Foundations of Windows Debugging, Disassembling, Reversing book is also included.
With this training, you get the following:
- The current Memory Thinking for C & C++ Windows Diagnostics PDF book (271 pages)
- Practical Foundations of Windows Debugging, Disassembling, Reversing, Second Edition PDF book (+300 pages)
- Accelerated Windows API for Software Diagnostics PDF book (+300 pages)
- Access to Software Diagnostics Library with more than 440 cross-referenced patterns of memory dump analysis, their classification, and more than 70 case studies
- Recording of the training
- Personalized Certificate of Attendance with unique CID
