.secure (Activate Secure Mode)

The .secure command activates or displays the status of Secure Mode.

Environment

Secure Mode can only be enabled while the debugger is dormant. Secure Mode applies only to kernel-mode sessions because, by definition, Secure Mode prevents user-mode debugging operations.

Remarks
