Debugging Tools

Not really a programming question, so here goes... Does anyone know the name of a utility that can be used to force a crash in a separate application ? I.e. Force another application to do an "Access Violation", etc. I know there is one, just can't remember the name of it and I don't have time to write one. thanks Jonathan

not sure if it helps, but have a look at the description of 'notmyfault' on this page ... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963901.aspx[^]

Thanks Garth, That's more like what I wanted, although something more to target a specific exe rather than the system. I may just have to write on in the end. regards, Jonathan

It's called Windows Vista :) Seriously, a rather heavyweight technique, but one which works if you know a bit of assembler, is to run up Visual Studio, attach to the process, break into it and patch the code at whatever point you find yourself at to do something illegal (such as access memory location 0). You can also do this with the Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg). In Visual Studio: - in the memory window, enter EIP into the address box - change the first two bytes displayed to CD 00 (= int 0, an illegal instruction) - press F5 No doubt there is an easier way.

:-D I will probably have to do the way you suggested as I cannot find the tool I was thinking of and I don't really have time to write one. thanks,
