  Here's a few screenshots of some of the cool things pwndbg does. Function arguments. Conditional jump evaluation and jump following. More dump following. RET following, useful for ROP. Here's a screenshot of pwndbg working on an aarch64 binary running under qemu-user. Here's a screenshot of PEDA. That it's aarch64 doesn't matter - it chokes in. Pwndbg search. Themes for pwndbg! GDB MIT 0 3 1 0 Updated Jan 15, 2018. Gdb-prebuilt Prebuilt GDB binaries for CI Testing C 1 4 0 0 Updated Feb 28, 2017. Top languages. Pwndbg is a Python module which is loaded directly into GDB, and provides a suite of utilities and crutches to hack around all of the cruft that is GDB and smooth out the rough edges. Many other projects from the past (e.g., gdbinit, PEDA) and present (e.g. GEF) exist to fill some these gaps. The Pwndbg module for GDB greatly reduces the learning curve and simplifies a lot of the commands similar to what I've experienced with GUI debuggers. This blog post is basically an intro into using Pwndbg, which I have started learning as this was written.

Pronunciation

clone

A cell, group of cells, or organism that is produced asexually from and is genetically identical to a single ancestor. The cells of an individual plant or animal, except for gametes and some cells of the immune system, are clones because they all descend from a single fertilized cell and are genetically identical. A clone may be produced by fission, in the case of single-celled organisms, by budding, as in the hydra, or in the laboratory by putting the nucleus of a diploid cell into an egg that has had its nucleus removed. Some plants can produce clones from horizontal stems, such as runners. Clones of other cells and some plants and animals can also be produced in a laboratory. See also therapeutic cloning.
