| Push data to the pagefile |
[Oct. 11th, 2006|11:15 am] |
One of the next steps in Windows memory analysis will be to parse the paging file (aka virtual memory). The operating system stores data here when it doesn't fit into main memory. A number of researchers have sought a way to reliably push data to the pagefile so that they can practice finding it.
I've written a simple program that attempts to allocate an infinite amount of memory and thus pushes other things out to the pagefile. The program's copyright notice is longer than the code and is available as a Windows executable or source code. Quitting the program by hitting Control-C will free up everything again. Have fun! |
