Last updated on Jul 13, 2005 with the following description: Bug fixes:

- gml.py: Fixed bug in parsing of GDE saved GML files.
- gml.py: Per node register listings are now sorted in alphabetical order.
- ps_state_mapper.py: Fixed bug in handling of filename arguments containing directory modifiers. ex: './seh.gml' and '../seh.gml'.
- process_stalker.exe: Replaced reliance on DebugActiveProcessStop() and DebugSetProcessKillOnExit() function resolution with dynamic function loading. This was preventing the tracer from running on systems that don't support the API such as Windows 2000.

Description Process Stalking is a term coined to describe the combined process of run-time profiling, state mapping and tracing. Consisting of a series of tools and scripts the goal of a successful stalk is to provide the reverse engineer with an intuitive visual interface to filtered, meaningful, run-time block-level trace data.

The Process Stalker suite is broken into three main components; an IDA Pro plug-in, a stand alone tracing tool and a series of Python scripts for instrumenting intermediary and GML graph files. The generated GML graph definitions were designed for usage with a freely available interactive graph visualization tool.

Data instrumentation is accomplished through a series of Python utilities built on top of a fully documented custom API. Binaries, source code and in-depth documentation are available in the bundled archive. An indepth article was written and released on OpenRCE.org detailing step by step usage of Process Stalker, the article is a good starting point for understanding the basics behind the tool set:
