1. SYSINTERNALS RSS FEED
 
Due to popular demand, Sysinternals now has an RSS feed!  I often update tools on the site that don't merit a mention
on the home page, so if you want to keep up to date on these changes, follow this new RSS feed.  (And by the way, the 
RSS reader that Dave Solomon and I use after evaluating several of the freeware offerings is Sharpreader - get it
from www.sharpreader.net).
 
2. NEW AND UPDATED TOOLS
 
Several tools have been updated recently, including Process Explorer, Filemon, Regmon, Autoruns, Handle, Sigcheck,
and Psshutdown.  New tools since the last newsletter include: Rootkit Revealer (finds hidden root kit viruses), Whois
(show web site ownership), and Du (disk usage).
 
3. MARK'S NEW BLOG
 
Like everyone else on the internet, I've started blogging!  I'm actually enjoying the opportunity to post informal notes
about various software and technology issues and reading responses from you, the readers.  To see my posts so far,

6. UPCOMING  SYSINTERNALS/WINDOWS OS INTERNALS TRAINING
 
If you're an IT professional deploying and supporting Windows servers and workstations, you need to be able to dig 
beneath the surface when things go wrong. Having understanding of the internals of the Windows operating system and 
knowing how to use advanced troubleshooting tools will help you deal with such problems and understand system 
performance issues more effectively. Understanding the internals can help programmers to better take advantage of the 
Windows platform, as well as provide advanced debugging techniques.  For a really indepth look at the Windows kernel 
internals and practical tips for using Sysinternals tools to troubleshoot your Windows systems, come to one of our 
public hands-on classes (bring your own laptop). Upcoming dates:
    JUNE 6-10, Orlando, Flordia [5 day class]
    JULY 4-8: Amsterdam, Netherlands [4 day class]
    SEPTEMBER 19-23: San Francisco, California [5 day class]
 
You'll gain an in-depth understanding of the kernel architecture of Windows NT/2000/XP/2003, including the internals of 
processes, thread scheduling, memory management, I/O, services, security, the registry, and the boot process. Also 
covered are advanced troubleshooting techniques such as malware disinfection, crash dump (blue screen) analysis, 
and getting past boot problems.  You'll also learn advanced tips on using the key tools from www.sysinternals.com 
(such as Filemon, Regmon, & Process Explorer) to troubleshoot a range of system and application issues, such as 
slow computers, virus detection, DLL conflicts, permission problems, and registry issues. These tools are used on a 
daily basis by Microsoft Product Support and have been used effectively to solve a wide variety of desktop and server 
issues, so being familiar with their operation and application will assist you in dealing with different problems on 
Windows. Real world examples will be given that show successful application of these tools to solve real problems. 
And because the course was developed with full access to the Windows kernel source code AND developers, you 
know you're getting the real story.
