pwndbg
Exploit Development and Reverse Engineering with GDB Made Easy
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. -

Flipper
A desktop debugging platform for mobile developers
Flipper is a platform for debugging iOS, Android and React Native apps. Visualize, inspect, and control your apps from a simple desktop interface. Use Flipper as is or extend it using the plugin API. Flipper aims to be your number one companion for mobile app development on iOS and Android. Therefore, we provide a bunch of useful tools including a log viewer, interactive layout inspector, and network inspector. Flipper is built as a platform. In addition to using the tools already included, you can create your own plugins to visualize and debug data from your mobile apps. Flipper takes care of sending data back and forth, calling functions, and listening for events on the mobile app. Both Flipper's desktop app and native mobile SDKs are open-source and MIT licensed. This enables you to see and understand how we are building plugins, and of course join the community and help improve Flipper. We are excited to see what you will build on this platform. -

scanmem & GameConqueror
memory scanner for Linux
scanmem is a debugging utility designed to isolate the address of an arbitrary variable in an executing process. scanmem simply needs to be told the pid of the process and the value of the variable at several different times. After several scans of the process, scanmem isolates the position of the variable and allows you to modify its value. -

LiveDebugger
Tool for debugging LiveView applications
LiveDebugger is a browser-based debugging tool for Phoenix LiveView applications. It helps Elixir developers inspect LiveView behavior while the application is running in development. The tool can show the LiveComponents tree, view assigns, inspect elements, and trace callback execution. It is designed to make LiveView debugging more visual and easier to understand than relying only on logs or manual inspection. LiveDebugger can be installed as a development dependency and also offers browser DevTools extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Its main value is giving Phoenix LiveView teams a dedicated debugging experience for understanding component state, callbacks, and runtime behavior. -

Semgrep
Lightweight static analysis for many languages
Static analysis at ludicrous speed. Find bugs and enforce code standards. Find and prevent security issues in Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, nginx, and AWS configs before they go into production. Go beyond application code and protect the entire stack with a breadth of scanning capabilities. Don't leak secrets, scan every commit and ensure secrets don't make it to production. Protect the privileged CI/CD environment from malicious activity that could result in access to source code, secrets, and more. Run with registry rules or your own. Code is analyzed locally (not uploaded). Get results at ludicrous speed with diff-aware scans, review findings in MR and PR comments, and deploy Semgrep across your organization’s projects. Go beyond the registry with rules specific to your organization. Write rules to enforce your own code guardrails. -

DELVE
Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language
Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language. The goal of the project is to provide a simple, full featured debugging tool for Go. Delve should be easy to invoke and easy to use. Chances are if you're using a debugger, things aren't going your way. With that in mind, Delve should stay out of your way as much as possible. Delve aims to be a very simple and powerful tool, but can be confusing if you're not used to using a source level debugger in a compiled language. This document will provide all the information you need to get started debugging your Go programs. The first CLI subcommand we will explore is debug. This subcommand can be run without arguments if you're in the same directory as your main package, otherwise it optionally accepts a package path. -
