About pwndbg
GDB plugin for exploit developers and reverse engineers with context display, heap analysis, and PEDA-like commands.
About x64dbg
x64dbg is an open-source binary debugger for Windows, designed for malware analysis and reverse engineering of executables when source code is not available. It supports both x64 and x32 applications and provides features comparable to commercial debuggers like IDA Pro's debugger. Key capabilities include a full-featured disassembler, graph view for control flow visualization, conditional breakpoints with scripting support, a built-in assembler for live patching, memory map visualization, and an extensive plugin ecosystem. x64dbg includes IDAPython-style scripting, supports TLS callbacks and anti-debug bypass, and can handle packed/obfuscated binaries. Its active community maintains plugins for everything from API monitoring to de-obfuscation, making it the go-to free debugger for Windows binary analysis.
