The Debugger leverages the power of the ptrace system call to provide low-level process control and monitoring capabilities. ptrace enables the debugger to observe and manipulate the execution of a target process, facilitating real-time analysis, breakpoint management, and precise control over program execution. This system call serves as a fundamental building block for the debugger's advanced debugging features.

• Real-time Analysis:

  • Instruction execution, flow control, and memory interactions.

• Breakpoint Management:

  • Support for traditional breakpoints, conditional breakpoints, and watchpoints.

  • Precise control over program execution with breakpoint manipulation.

• Register and Memory Inspection:

  • Examination of CPU registers and memory contents during runtime.

  • Hexadecimal and ASCII representations for efficient data analysis.

• Step-by-Step Execution Control:

  • Fine-grained execution control with step into, step over, and step out functionalities. Pause, resume, and restart options
