# Controlled crash triage - evidence worksheet

Scope: a locally authorized, isolated Windows lab.

## Recorded observation
- A crash was reproduced.
- The instruction pointer contained the test marker 0x42424242.

## Not established by that observation
- Exact overwrite offset and bad characters.
- A valid executable target or reliable code execution.
- ASLR, DEP/NX, CFG or SafeSEH state across the process and its modules.

## Investigation checklist
1. Record the build, module versions and reproduction conditions.
2. Preserve the exception, registers and a small relevant stack excerpt.
3. Separate confirmed values from assumptions.
4. Inspect process- and module-level mitigations independently.
5. Record limitations and defensive recommendations.

Do not treat a marker in EIP as proof of a successful exploit.
No payload, external target, or mitigation-bypass claim is included.
