Talk:SoftICE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Additional commentary in reference to the person that highlighted SoftICE is used to crack software:

I have discovered a growing number of applications that deliberately disable themselves if SoftICE is run, but for the most part I care little as I'm debugging my own issues. This increase of cripple software however causes professional driver writers some headaches. For example, imagine you have a bug in a network driver that only occurs when iTunes streams music. Because of Apple's DRM debugging lock-out it makes finding the bug within your network driver much more tricky.

Despite the cost of SoftICE I'm a big fan of it. I find Microsoft's two-machine equivalent awfully tedious to setup and maintain; its rewards don't outweight the effort.

[edit] about Rasta Ring 0 Debugger

If this debugger is so good, it must be separated into another article, are not? --Yonkie 16:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
