Minidump support

[redthing1]

Something like what Dumpulator does.
Set up the emulator state from a minidump.
Then either continue execution or call functions in the binary.

I'm interested in working on this feature.

Would you be open to submoduling a minidump parser library like udmp-parser?

[redthing1]

I didn't like that library, so I instead ported the python minidump used by dumpulator.

Honestly, that would be such a banger feature. Feel free to work on it :3

I’ve implemented a lot of the core of minidump loading, but I’m trying to figure out what would be the right way to consume it.
Once the dump is loaded into sogen, how are API consumers intended to interact with it?
Will we write custom programs that call functions in it? Will we support an interactive mode? Scripting?

that's a good question. I'm also not sure yet. i guess some scripting environment might make sense. or maybe you can specify the execution context through commandline args. i mean if i understand it correctly, what should already work atm is to use GDB server and to just modify the registers to your liking and debug

[redthing1]

yeah, i was thinking gdb scripting could likely work for this

oh dear...
targeted harassment? wtf
we should all report them
