Projects

The following is a selection of publicly available software projects Stephen has developed.

• WonderLeak is a Windows allocation profiler.
• Relyze is an interactive software reverse engineering tool to disassemble, decompile and binary diff native code software.
• Grinder is a system to automate the fuzzing of web browsers and the management of a large number of crashes.
• Reflective DLL Injection is a Windows (x86, x64, ARM) library injection technique in which the concept of reflective programming is employed to perform the loading of a library from memory into a host process.
• OllySocketTrace is a plugin for OllyDbg to trace the socket operations being performed by a process, recording all buffers being sent and received.
• OllyHeapTrace is a plugin for OllyDbg to trace the heap operations being performed by a process. It will monitor heap allocations and frees for multiple heaps, as well as operations such as creating or destroying heaps and reallocations.
• OllyCallTrace is a plugin for OllyDbg to trace the call chain of a thread allowing you to monitor it for irregularities to aid in the debugging of stack based buffer overflows as well as to quickly plot the execution flow of a program you are reversing.
• NoNameOS is a tiny Operating System for the x86 architecture. It is an educational system with a monolithic kernel design and a clean efficient implementation. Features include a simple virtual memory manager, a file system and fully pre-emptive multitasking.
