This is a simple app that can be used to crash other processes on Windows. It's intended for debugging and generating crashdumps/minidumps (i.e. to be used on apps using breakpad or crashpad or similar).

Download the app and its payload from the releases tab.

crashy.exe <target (PID or executable)> [-p <payload-path>]

<payload-path> will default to crashy-payload.dll - the path is relative to the location of the executable.

A recent C++ compiler and CMake are required. This example uses ninja as the generator.

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cd build
ninja all
