[TECH][PT] Windows Memory Management Tools

Here are some very useful tools for tracking Windows memory management issues and for analyzing and  inspecting third party applications and what they are doing or using.

- Application Verifier: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c4a25ab9-649d-4a1b-b4a7-c9d8b095df18&DisplayLang=en#filelist (relevante para deteccção de leaks de aplicações Win32).
- Testlimit: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Testlimit.zip (particularmente relevante para provocar situações extremas de uso de Handles, Kernel Memory, etc).

- Notmyfault: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Notmyfault.zip

- VMMap: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd535533.aspx

- Meminfo: http://www.winsiderss.com/tools/meminfo/meminfo.htm

- Debugging tools for Windows Package (pré-requisito para o LiveKD): http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx ou http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/debugstart.mspx, instalada nos termos descritos no artigo [2];

- LiveKD: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897415.aspx - apresenta num dos modos dados relacionados com Kernel memory, limites máximos, etc.

A seguinte ferramenta é referida nos artigos, pode ser usada para determinar kernel pool leaks (ver [2]) e, ao que parece, já se encontra instalada:

- Poolmon: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/WDK/ (parte do Windows Driver Kit)
