1 A bit of background on crashme. It is a tool for testing the robustness
2 of an operating environment using a technique of "Random Input" response
3 analysis. This I first saw formally proposed in the book Cybernetics
4 by Norbert Wiener, but which any parent who has observed his children
5 playing and learning would be well disposed to describe in detail.
7 * The operating environment under consideration is the user-mode process.
9 * The Random Input is provided by the execution of a sequence of pseudo-random
10 data as an instruction stream.
12 * The response analysis is to catch and record machine and software
13 generated exceptions/errors/signals and to retry using new random data
14 in both the current user-mode process and in newly created subprocesses.
