This is going to be one of the biggest news in Reverse Engineering or Reversing scene. The long awaited most popular ring3 debugger, OllyDbg2 finally has made it appearance in alpha release.
As your probably know, the last version released was OllyDbg 1.10 dated on June 11, 2004. If you count, it has been 3 years but OllyDbg still the most popular and powerful ring3 debugger. It is still the main choice of reverser out there beside SoftICE which is ring0 debugger.
I just download this magnificent work of Oleh Yuschuk (even some people call him gifted due to his excellent OllyDbg) and didn’t test it yet because I am too excited to write a post about this. This is can be called dream for most reverser.
Here is release notes by Oleh Yuschuk for OllyDbg 2 Alpha
For those who lived in caved and never heard about OllyDbg and too lazy to visit it’s site here is introduction taken from official site.
OllyDbg is a 32-bit assembler level analysing debugger for Microsoft® Windows®. Emphasis on binary code analysis makes it particularly useful in cases where source is unavailable. OllyDbg is a shareware, but you can download and use it for free. Special highlights are:
- Intuitive user interface, no cryptical commands
- Code analysis - traces registers, recognizes procedures, loops, API calls, switches, tables, constants and strings
- Directly loads and debugs DLLs
- Object file scanning - locates routines from object files and libraries
- Allows for user-defined labels, comments and function descriptions
- Understands debugging information in Borland® format
- Saves patches between sessions, writes them back to executable file and updates fixups
- Open architecture - many third-party plugins are available
- No installation - no trash in registry or system directories
OK, until then. I am gonna play with this brand new Olly, maybe I will post some update later!
