When I started Win32 exploit development many years ago, my preferred debugger at the time was WinDbg (and some Olly). While Windbg is a great and fast debugger, I quickly figured out that some additional/external tools were required to improve my exploit development experience.

Click “Project” – “Add reference”. Open the “Browse” tabsheet and browse to the dll file. Select the dll file and click “OK” to add the reference to your project.

You should now see a reference to the dll in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer.

The simple console application that demonstrates some of the possibilities of the password …
