SYSINTERNALS RSS FEED

Due to popular demand, Sysinternals now has an RSS feed! I often update tools on the site that don't merit a mention on the home page, so if you want to keep up to date on these changes, follow this new RSS feed. (And by the way, the RSS reader that Dave Solomon and I use after evaluating several of the freeware offerings is Sharpreader - get it from www.sharpreader.net).

NEW AND UPDATED TOOLS

Several tools have been updated recently, including Process Explorer, Filemon, Regmon, Autoruns, Handle, Sigcheck, and Psshutdown. New tools since the last newsletter include: Rootkit Revealer (finds hidden root kit viruses), Whois (show web site ownership), and Du (disk usage).

UPCOMING SYSINTERNALS/WINDOWS OS INTERNALS TRAINING

If you're an IT professional deploying and supporting Windows servers and workstations, you need to be able to dig beneath the surface when things go wrong. Having understanding of the internals of the Windows operating system and knowing how to use advanced troubleshooting tools will help you deal with such problems and understand system performance issues more effectively. Understanding the internals can help programmers to better take advantage of the Windows platform, as well as provide advanced debugging techniques. For a really indepth look at the Windows kernel internals and practical tips for using Sysinternals tools to troubleshoot your Windows systems, come to one of our public hands-on classes (bring your own laptop). Upcoming dates:

JUNE 6-10, Orlando, Flordia [5 day class]
JULY 4-8: Amsterdam, Netherlands [4 day class]
SEPTEMBER 19-23: San Francisco, California [5 day class]

You'll gain an in-depth understanding of the kernel architecture of Windows NT/2000/XP/2003, including the internals of processes, thread scheduling, memory management, I/O, services, security, the registry, and the boot process. Also covered are advanced troubleshooting techniques such as malware disinfection, crash dump (blue screen) analysis, and getting past boot problems. You'll also learn advanced tips on using the key tools from www.sysinternals.com (such as Filemon, Regmon, & Process Explorer) to troubleshoot a range of system and application issues, such as slow computers, virus detection, DLL conflicts, permission problems, and registry issues. These tools are used on a daily basis by Microsoft Product Support and have been used effectively to solve a wide variety of desktop and server issues, so being familiar with their operation and application will assist you in dealing with different problems on Windows. Real world examples will be given that show successful application of these tools to solve real problems. And because the course was developed with full access to the Windows kernel source code AND developers, you know you're getting the real story.
