New Resplendence freeware: WhoCrashed
« on: December 17, 2008, 06:16 AM »
New Resplendence freeware is WhoCrashed:

WhoCrashed reveals the drivers responsible for crashing your computer

Whenever a computer running Windows suddenly reboots without displaying any notice or blue screen of death, the first thing that is often though about is a hardware failure. In reality, most crashes are caused by malfunctioning device drivers and kernel modules. In case of a kernel error, most computers running Windows do not show a blue screen unless they are configured to do so. Instead these systems suddenly reboot without any notice.

WhoCrashed shows the drivers which have been crashing computer with a single click. In most cases it can pinpoint the offending drivers which have been causing misery on your computer system in the past. It does post-mortem crashdump analysis and presents all gathered information in a comprehensible way.

Normally, debugging skills and a set of debugging tools are required to do post-mortem crash dump analysis. By using this utility you do not need any debugging skills to be able to find out what drivers are causing trouble to your computer.

Note

Note that WhoCrashed cannot be always 100% sure about the drivers which are responsible for crashing your computer. Because all kernel modules run in the same address space, a kernel module is able to corrupt another. Also, a driver may be able to cause problems to another driver which runs in the same device stack. So keep in mind this software is not guaranteed to identify the culprit in every case but most often it does.

WhoCrashed relies on the Windows Debugging Package (WinDbg) from Microsoft. If this is not installed, WhoCrashed will download and extract this package automatically for you.

----------

Almost new Resplendence €25/$30 payware is SanityCheck 1.01:

SanityCheck Introduction

SanityCheck is an advanced rootkit and malware detection tool for Windows which thoroughly scans the system for threats and irregularities which indicate malware or rootkit behavior. By making use of special deep inventory techniques, this program detects hidden and spoofed processes, hidden threads, hidden drivers and a large number of hooks and hacks which are typically the work of rootkits and malware. It offers a comprehensible report which gives a detailed explanation of any irregularities found and offers suggestions on how to solve or further investigate any situation.

Resplendence has a mighty fine registry tool kit, Registrar, - also with a free "lite" version.

Announcing Undelex
----------------------------------------------------------------

We are working on a classic undelete utility. It works similar to the Windows Explorer recycle bin but it will protect files deleted by any program. And it will allow you to set rules on the type of files you would like to have protected and which not. Also it will protect files deleted on remote network drives.

We know there are already quite a few of such utilities but we found none of which we think they work the way they are supposed to work.

This product is not yet ready, but we have released the driver source code of its core component.
