You might want to try the following WEB page:

I has a little bit, but like you, I am amazed that more people are not
looking at debuggers.

Trust me, I know. I write Windows95 and Windows NT debuggers for a
living (best, and only, way to make a living!) My collegues and I
have asked everyone we know to let us know who is doing any
interesting research. Because it is such a black art, we joke that we
will let you in on the secret but only if we like you! Most of what
we've figured out is through sheer brute force. I wish you well on
your project.


I am more than willing to collect and diseminate any debugger research
or debugger information that people would like to send me. (No
commercial stuff, please). If I get enough stuff (more than one
contribution??) I can put it up on my company's WEB page.
