StraceNT (pronounced S-Trace-NT) is a System Call Tracer for Windows. It provides similar functionality as strace provides on Linux. It can trace all the calls made by a process to the imported functions from other DLLs. StraceNT can be very useful in debugging and analyzing the internal working of a program. It records function names, their arguments and their return value. StraceNT uses IAT patching technique to trace function calls, which is quite reliable and very efficient way for tracing. StraceNT can handle functions with different calling conventions including __fastcall and __stdcall. StraceNT also supports filtering based on DLL name and function name and gives you a lot of control on which calls to trace and helps you to easily isolate a problem.
