PEDA Description
PEDA (Python Exploit Development Assistance for GDB) is a Python-based extension for the GNU Debugger (GDB) that enhances the debugging experience for security researchers and exploit developers. The tool provides visual enhancements to GDB by adding color-coded display of disassembly code, registers, and memory information during debugging sessions. This colorization makes it easier to read and analyze assembly code and system state information. PEDA extends GDB's functionality with additional commands specifically designed for exploit development and security analysis. These commands include capabilities to check Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) settings, examine security features of binary executables, and display function arguments during program execution. The tool includes features for Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) analysis, allowing users to dump and search for ROP gadgets within binary files. This functionality assists in developing exploits that bypass modern security mitigations. PEDA integrates seamlessly with existing GDB workflows while providing enhanced visualization and specialized commands that streamline the process of analyzing vulnerabilities and developing proof-of-concept exploits.
