Is it secure to post a Windows 7 minidump file online?


I realise it's unlikely that posting the file would cause a problem. However, since I know nothing about what a what's in a minidump file I thought I should check.



Answer



Here is example of minidump http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/w/minidump.txt Content of it is



  • The Stop message, its parameters and other data

  • A list of loaded drivers

  • The processor context (PRCB) for the processor that stopped

  • The process information and kernel context (EPROCESS) for the process that stopped

  • The process information and kernel context (ETHREAD) for the thread that stopped

  • The Kernel-mode call stack for the thread that stopped
