Pwndbg is a fast, simple and lightweight tool for modern debugging. It improves debugging experience with the strength of GDB for low-level software developers, hardware hackers, reverse engineers, and exploit developers. It provides features crucial for efficient debugging in the world of low-level programming. Vanilla GDB is terrible to use for reverse engineering and exploit development. Typing x/g30x $esp is not fun, and does not confer much information. The year is 2024 and GDB still lacks a real hexdump command! GDB's syntax is arcane and difficult to approach. Windbg users are completely lost when they occasionally need to bump into GDB.

Features

  • Pwndbg is a Python module which is loaded directly into GDB
  • Provides a suite of utilities and crutches to hack around all of the cruft that is GDB and smooth out the rough edges
  • Pwndbg exists not only to replace all of its predecessors
  • Documentation available
  • Comes batteries-included, so all of its features are available if you run setup.sh
  • Installation on RPM-based Systems (CentOS/Alma/Rocky/RHEL)
  • Examples available
