Software dev interested in .NET, windbg and anything on the way

Making an Image Easier to Debug

leave a comment »

I am doing security review for a managed application which is obfuscated. So I am doing a lot of   disassembling code at runtime using Windbg. One of the issues is that code gets JIT optimized because of the retail build. This makes it harder for me debug when mapping it back. Realized  that I could turnoff  JIT Optimization’s using the ini file.

[.NET Framework Debugging Control]
GenerateTrackingInfo=1
AllowOptimize=0

Another use of feature which I guess wasn’t really intended for.
