WinDbg and Virtualbox and machine snapshot - force kernel debug reconnect

So one of the nice features of virtualbox is to have snapshots that you can restore later on.

However, when doing kernel debugging with virtualbox and windbg, a debugging session is not restored upon restoring the snapshot.

Is there any way to force windbg and the guest machine to re-sync and restart that kernel debugging session upon restoring a machine snapshot instead of having to restart the machine each time?

Solution

  • This tool streamlines you deploy , debug , refactor cycle By half once you have it setup and working. Debug sessions are faster too as a bonus -

    Support virtual box out of the box as well. Absolute must have.
