It provides additional features to GDB using the Python API to +assist during the process of dynamic analysis and exploit development. +Application developers will also benefit from it, as GEF lifts a great part of +regular GDB obscurity, avoiding repeating traditional commands, or bringing out +the relevant information from the debugging runtime. + +Some of GEF features include: +- One single GDB script. +- Fast limiting the number of dependencies and optimizing code to make the + commands as fast as possible. +- Provides more than 50 commands to drastically change your experience in GDB. +- Easily extendable to create other commands by providing more comprehensible + layout to GDB Python API. +- Built around an architecture abstraction layer, so all commands work in any + GDB-supported architecture such as x86-32/64, ARMv5/6/7, AARCH64, SPARC, + MIPS, PowerPC, etc. +- Suited for real-life apps debugging, exploit development, just as much as CTF. + +WWW: https://gef.rtfd.io |
