Sysinternals (now owned by Microsoft) has updated some of their tools today. These include the Sysinternals Suite which contains all of their tools, Microsoft Process Explorer to manage your processes, ProcDump which is handy for monitoring CPU spikes and Process Monitor, an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity.. All of these tools are handy for system admins.

They also posted the slides from the highly-attended and well received Blackhat 2011 Workshop they delivered last week, Zero Day Malware Cleaning with the Sysinternals Tools, which demonstrates how to use the Sysinternals tools to hunt down and eliminate malware. The PDF is 6.93 MB and available here.
