[vbox-dev] using vbox dbg to view guest memory

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Hello All,

Can someone please tell me if there are any examples or tutorials on using
the VirtualBox built-in debugger?  I have read over the information in
Chapter 12 of the manual, but it really does not show any specifics related
to the address "range" format used in the SA (Search) command to access
Guest ram. I need to scan the Guest ram while the VM is active to collect
come information. The Host is a Windows 7 (64Bit) and test Guest is also a
Windows 7 (64bit).

Any information or experiences using the built-in debugger would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day,
Lonnie
