PROCESSING CORE DATA PRODUCED BY A COMPUTER PROCESS
First Claim
1. A method for processing core data produced by a computer process to identify data relevant to the computer process, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying the core data for a computer process;
identifying trace data comprising sequential trace entries for the computer process;
selecting a predetermined number of most recent entries in the trace data;
identifying any references to a memory address in each selected trace data entry;
dereferencing each identified memory address in the core data; and
extracting the data from the dereferenced memory location in the core data.
