Testimonials
SourcePoint truly enables debugging of the undebuggable…we’ll use SourcePoint WinDbg when regular debuggers cannot do the job (i.e. for trap handlers, transition code, KVA shadow, NMI, MCE, and so on…).
Andrea Allievi, Windows Core OS Engineer, Microsoft; principal author of Windows Internals book, 7th Edition, Part 2; beta tester for SourcePoint WinDbg
I’ve been recommending SourcePoint and the AAEON board to my students who want to explore platform initialization, SMM, and of course hypervisors. It works as advertised, and it’s good to see the one-stop-shop for it.
Satoshi Tanda, Software Security Engineer and Trainer at System Programming Lab
When doing hypervisor-oriented vulnerability research back in the day, I wished that tools like these were accessible for independent researchers. People who are starting now don’t realize how lucky they are for having a product like SourcePoint available and being able to DCI debug out of the box.
The ASSET team has done something really really cool, democratising access to previously VERY expensive NDA gated Intel JTAG debugging tools, the session he did on Off by One Security was a lot of fun and showed him inspecting secure kernel bring up, the fact this entire setup is possible for just over 1k USD blows my mind.
Daniel D, Vulnerability Researcher | Reverse Engineering, Exploit Development & Program Analysis
I’ve been debugging Windows for over 20 years and I have access to some very cool toys, SourcePoint just blows my mind. And then you combine it with X-rays…. God mode unlocked! 🙂
Get ready to order the most powerful debugging tool on the market!
Ivan Rouzanov, Senior Software Engineering Manager at CrowdStrike
Now, for the first time ever, the power of the SourcePoint JTAG hardware-assisted debugger is combined with the Microsoft Windows OS-aware functionality of WinDbg. Kernel and user code can be debugged within the combined environment with power and usability that has never been achieved before. Combine the low-level capabilities of JTAG: SMM breakpoint support, Intel Processor Trace, Architectural Event Trace (AET), and many other very powerful features; with the de facto Windows debugger from Microsoft.
But it gets better. With the built-in hypervisor debug support within SourcePoint, you can debug Windows Hyper-V, Secure Kernel, and Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) features to an extent never possible before. Set breakpoints for VM Launch, VM Resume and VM Exit; explore Guest <-> Host mode transitions; and view the Host and Guest VMCS, reading and writing to any possible fields therein.
Commercial Off The Shelf targets that support Intel Direct Connect Interface (DCI) allow JTAG debug of low-cost Intel boards with only a custom USB cable; not requiring an expensive external JTAG hardware probe. Pictured above is the AAEON UP Xtreme i11 Tiger Lake board, that can be purchased from the AAEON UP Shop or from ASSET directly. NEW: the UP Xtreme i12 Alder Lake is now supported too! Contact us for details.
