            Abstract : 
It is difficult to analyze and debug Cisco IOS with traditional debugging and disassembler tools such as GDB and IDA pro. These tools can´t debug Cisco IOS in single step mode. This paper describes a dynamic analysis system based on a modification hardware emulator called Dynamips. Then, a new solution of inserting breakpoint with network events will be provided to analyze network communication procedures.
