Pwndbg
A GDB and LLDB plug-in that enhances debugging for exploit development, reverse engineering, and low-level software development.
What is Pwndbg?
Pwndbg is a Python plug-in for GDB and LLDB that dramatically improves the debugging experience for low-level software work. It provides a suite of utilities and visual enhancements tailored for exploit development, reverse engineering, and hardware hacking, addressing the limitations and cumbersome interfaces of vanilla debuggers.
Low-level software developers, hardware hackers, reverse engineers, and exploit developers who regularly work with GDB or LLDB for debugging binaries, analyzing vulnerabilities, or developing security exploits.
Developers choose Pwndbg because it replaces older, monolithic debugger enhancements with a faster, modular, and more extensible implementation, offering a consistent and feature-rich experience across both GDB and LLDB while specifically catering to the needs of security and low-level programming.
