The IDA Win32 debugger allows remote debugging of Windows32 executables. This is especially suited to the safe analysis of unknown hostile code. Our remote debugger server must first be started on the target machine.
start_win32_server
we select attach to remote win32
instant_debugger_menu
and of course specify our password and the port we'll use for the session.
config_win32_dbg
the connection screen is indentical to the local one.
connect_to_win32
and we are now connected to a program running on the remote machine.
