MemoryTracingTools

This folder contains 8 memory tracing tools for Intel® PIN, they implement all combinations of:

• capture read/write memory access,
• get address/1-byte-content of memory access, and
• output in binary/text format.

Requirements

Since these tools are PIN tools, you will need to download and install PIN.

Compile

Copy this directory into PIN-install-dir/source/tools/MemoryTracingTools, enter it, and run

$ make

Use

Run desired tool with desired command, e.g.,

$ pin -t PIN-install-dir/source/tools/MemoryTracingTools/obj-intel64/read_addr_txt.so -- your_command with possible arguments

which acquires memory addresses of all read instructions and saves the trace in text format into the current directory. Filenames of traces follow this format: rw_ac(.txt), where

• rw is either read or write,
• ac is either addr or cnt, and
• .txt is used for text format only.
