Try learning WinDBG with chatGPT, easy, I did (video)

[coffeeprogrammer]

I tuned into SN the other day, I have not watched in a while unfortunately and something Steve was talking about made me decide to post some things I figured out with chat gpt. There are a few conceptual mistakes, mostly what I said EPROCESS is and a few other things. But chat gpt makes this so easy and can learn doing not much more than being than a spectator. Anyhow here is a video on some very intro stuff to WinDBG.

-----------------------------

PS I also found a book that has been released for free called Linux in a net shell, using this book and chat gpt I figured out linux kernel boot parameters that can be used in grub or qemu and at some pointI will compile a linux kernel and debug it at source level and know about the kernel boot parameters and how to use them on qemu is helpful for that.

i should add when i was saying process, i should have said process structure, guess it is easy to gloss over details when using chat gpt

One other thing that might be of interest to some of the viewer of SN is this new course form Pavel, I think it is in person, but I am hoping it will end up on his new video training site. I don't know if the syllabus is done or not, but here is a link to github. It is x64 asm programming on windows, paid course.

Also after I upload my video yesterday I found this, it is way better than mine and it is part of a playlist.

Interesting. It's becoming more and more clear that generative AI is going be changing the way things have been done in the past. Of course, if already is doing that... but it feels as though there's much more to come as tools are more specifically tuned to specific tasks.

Yes, I have asked chat gpt many questions about different programming libraries, for example just started asking questions wayland and systemd and learned quite a bit without much effort. It is also useful to to have a book on a subject to draw from when formulating questions. I will also be interesting to see what google is cooking up with AI. I do find AI useful and video courses have there place as well, but I don't think (and hope) book never really go away.
