Right now the user can create a dump file via a backend command: #647. However, this is not convenient and not very discoverable. We should improved it in two possible ways:

  1. Add a new capacity for the backend to create a dump file. Basically the adapter will be responsible for creating the dump file, and the DbgEng/LLDB adapter will be responsible for doing that. We can have a UI/API to make the feature more accessible
  2. Add a way to save the current state of the target as a binja database. Memory regions are saved as segments, and register values, thread states, etc, are saved as metadata

Over the long run we can also try adding the support to fix and dump the file after unpacking as detailed in #471
