Pwndbg: A GDB Plug-in for Enhanced Debugging
Pwndbg (/paʊnˈdiˌbʌɡ/) is a GDB plug-in that improves the debugging experience for low-level software developers, hardware hackers, reverse-engineers, and exploit developers. It offers a collection of utilities and enhancements that help to alleviate the limitations of GDB, making it more user-friendly and efficient for its users.
It addresses the limitations of GDB
It addresses the limitations of vanilla GDB, which include the absence of a genuine hexdump command, complex syntax, and challenges in reverse engineering and exploit development tasks. Pwndbg is a Python module that is directly integrated into GDB, with the goal of replacing and improving upon earlier tools such as gdbinit, PEDA, and GEF.
