pdx debugactiveprocess access denied

Hi

This is a nice fork of the original sulley project!

I am having an issue when trying to run against an FTP application during the debug phase.

[01:38.36] debugger thread-1498725516 attaching to pid: 196 Exception in thread 1498725516: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python27\lib\threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "process_monitor.py", line 100, in run self.dbg.attach(self.pid) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pydbg\pydbg.py", line 226, in attach self.debug_active_process(pid) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pydbg\pydbg.py", line 839, in debug_active _process raise pdx("DebugActiveProcess(%d)" % pid, True) pdx: [5] DebugActiveProcess(196): Access is denied.
Can anyone shed any light why this would be happening?

In case this helps anyone else, this was due to running the application from the user\Desktop.

Moving to C:\ fixed the access denied on the debuger.

This happens when you are trying to attach to a 64-bit app using pydbg which is made for 32-bit applications. Boofuzz doesn't have 64-bit support yet. :'(
