We need a tool that displays all known named shared objects (pipes, memory, semaphores…). At a minimum we would need to know what objects exist. Preferably, we would like to associate these objects with processes (who is the creator, who has it open). Is there a tool about that can give us this information. Is the information available for me to write that tool, if it doesn't exist. There is 1 Reply.

Dale, With the final retail product is a program called WinObj, with which you can enumerate named objects. Try looking at the symbolic link \BaseNamedObjects. I don't know of a way to associate the named objects with processes, hoever. I'll look into this. Colin P.S. – There is a bug with WinObj concerning saving settings. You should disable the save settings feature on first run otherwise following invocations will AE unless you nuke the %systemroot%\winobj.ini file first. I am not sure about the second part of finding out the process names which created them but if you just want to enumerate the win32 named objects then you can dump these by get a idw tool objdir.exe or a winobj.exe and do objdir \BaseNamedObjects to get this list.
