Why use Softice over Olly?

[TQN]

With OllyDbg, we can write a plugin for it. Write a "plugin" for SoftIce is hard, we need to write a KMD (IceDump, IceExt) or a WinDbg extension. Not many people can do it. And with OllyScript, we can automatic do many jobs.
The current version of OllyDbg can not load .pdb file from symbols path. I have mailed to Olek this problem. Hope he will fix it. If he not, I plan to write a plugin to load .pdb files of system DLLs and a plugin to invoke the MSDN from OllyDbg. I need more times.

yes

i have the same opinion as many of us here

it's very very necessary to have many various tools, so it's good to have both of this debugger

then you can choose

i agree that olly is more comfortable than SICE and is much less anti Olly tricks than SICE antidebug

SI is good & Olly is good,but run on problem

olly is better than Sice, it's much easier to use.

olly works in ring3 and si works in ring0

I can't even get SoftICE to work, so I really don't know the difference.

OllyDbg is working in USER MODE, and S-ICE is working in Kernel MODE(RING3 and RING0).

Olly is easy for newbies but SI is better. I think.

May be it can Inside Kernel

I personally prefer SoftIce for debugging programs. I only use Olly for debugging the app while I am coding a Keygen for it, so I can code the Key Algo and check what must be done whitout stopping the whole system.
