Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementing system object tracking for rule violation detection. In various examples, in response to a trigger event, a computing system may track a system object by tracking a tracker object corresponding to a memory address range of a database that has been allocated to the system object. Contemporaneous with the trigger event, the computing system determines, based on tracking of the tracker object, whether a system rule associated with the system object has been violated. Based on a determination that a system rule associated with the system object has been violated, the computing system triggers at least one action associated with the system object, including performing a contemporaneous error check, sending messages indicating an error caused by violation of the system rule, identifying a system component or driver that caused the error, and/or causing an immediate system crash.
