Microsoft heeft een nieuwe versie van de Sysinternals Suite de deur uit gedaan. Dit pakket is een verzameling handige tools waarmee systemen kunnen worden beheerd en waarmee uitgebreide informatie over de computer kan worden ingewonnen. Zo kunnen allerlei problemen worden opgespoord en verholpen.
De afzonderlijke tools worden ontwikkeld door Mark Russinovich en Bryce Cogswell, in eerste instantie voor Sysinternals en tegenwoordig dus voor Microsoft. Enkele voorbeelden zijn Process Explorer, Bginfo, Contig en Diskmon. In totaal gaat het om een verzameling van 68 verschillende tools. Overigens kunnen de laatste versies van de afzonderlijke programma's zoals altijd ook hier worden gevonden. In deze release zijn de volgende onderdelen van de Suite bijgewerkt:
Autoruns v11.34:
This release of Autoruns fixes a bug that caused it to not show some Internet Explorer extensions.
ProcDump v5.0:
Procdump is an advanced utility for capturing process memory dumps based on a variety of triggers including CPU usage, memory usage, performance counter values, and exceptions. Version 5.0 is a major upgrade that adds the ability to configure exception filters based on managed and native exception types, extends support to Windows 8 modern applications, and integrates with Process Monitor’s debug output logging.
Sigcheck v1.8:
This update to Sigcheck, a command-line file version and digital signature verification utility, shows detailed certificate information such as certificate usage, validity dates, and thumbprints, and also shows a file’s counter-signing chain if it has one.
VMMap v3.11:
VMMap, a utility that shows detailed information about a process’ virtual and physical memory usage, now reports commit usage instead of working set in its timeline view and fixes a bug that enables export of captures of 32-bit processes.
AccessChk v5.1:
This update to AccessChk, a command-line utility that shows the security settings and effective access on many object types, including registry keys and files, now reports Windows 8 claims and capabilities, shows the token of processes running as local system, lists security descriptor flags, and checks for remote interactive logon rights.
Autoruns v11.33:
This fixes a bug that caused the run as administrator elevation to fail if Autoruns was started from a path with spaces.
Coreinfo v3.05:
Coreinfo, a tool that shows CPU features, cache sizes, and topology, now correctly shows hyperthreading support on AMD multicore systems and lists processor features on Windows XP.
Whois v1.1:
Whois is a command-line utility that looks up domain name registration information. This release fixes a bug that could cause an infinite loop and a command-line option, -v, that prints verbose information about domain registration referrals.
