Instant Online Crash Analysis

Well, here’s something fun for a Friday afternoon (Eastern US time, anyway)…

We just added a feature to OSR Online that allows you to upload a crash dump, and instantly (well, after a minute or two of analysis, anyways) receive the output from !analyze -v.

Even MORE fun, you can zip the dump and include PDBs for various drivers that you suspect to be involved, and we’ll include those as part of the analysis.

And, of course, it’s free.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been testing it out, it’s rapidly become one of our favorite toys here at OSR.

Check it out: http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=analyze … and tell us what you think about it.

ZIP only or will you accept the newer ZIPX format?

ZIP only (WinZIP should burn for ZIPX…Any time I get one of those I have
to install WinZIP, unzip the file, then uninstall WinZIP again).

You don’t need WinZip to deal with zipx files - they’re just normal zip
files that use a different compression method - BZip2, LZMA or PPMd.
You can use 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ instead. It’s one of the
first things I install on a new installation because it makes dealing
with compressed files (and uncompressed formats like tar and iso) so
much easier.

Do you support .cab upload? The debugger has built-in support for performing dump file debugging against a cab, and the .dump […] /ba filename command built-in to the debugger will package up the dump and all of the symbols into a cab (no need for messing with multiple external tools).

True and a very nice feature, but I think that most people don’t use that
and in the case of OS created dump files, it won’t help.

So, let’s be clear: You can upload .DMP files (mini-dumps or kernel summary dumps) or .ZIP files that contain mini-dumps or kernel summary dumps and optionally PDBs.

Archive compression formats are a religion, sort of like people’s choice of editor or perhaps the language in which they develop.

So… we support uploads of .DMP files or .ZIP files.

No ARJ, TAR, GZ, ZIPX, RAR, no CAB…

Sorry… but you know… there’s only so much we can handle in a free service,

I wonder if popular browsers will negotiate gzip compression for HTTP upload. Then you won’t need to care about zipping the file.

Shit! Our secret analysis and “automation” method got out!!

And just before we had the chance to scale it up using off-shore labor, too…

:wink:

Hope you’re well,

Some smarties have created one more compressed format?

How “great”. After the nuisance with RAR, which can be at least justified that it’s PPM and not LZH and thus compresses better - we now have ZIPX. How “great”.

Sure, which they can use to compress the driver package for one more
remote desktop app, or one more virtual audio device, or one more
“prevent my USB devices from working” solution.

Reinvention is the mother of something, I guess.
