Abstract

A log of operating system calls made by a process can be used for debugging, profiling, verification and reverse engineering. Such a log can be created by acting as an intermediary between the traced process and the operating system. We describe the design and implementation of such a tool under the MS-DOS operating system environment, and provide some examples of its uses.
