Full state session reviving, forking, and snapshoting based on an application data dump

摘要

Systems and methods are described for capturing and reproducing the full state of an application session. An application is captured by performing a dump of various components of the session and storing the components in an application session capture. Captured components include a memory image, CPU register values, open handles to kernel objects, and loaded libraries. The session is reproduced when requested based on the session capture. In cases where locations or references to certain items (e.g., memory locations, open handle references, library addresses, etc.) are different when the session is restored, a driver is used to remap the old locations or references to the new locations or references.
