heretek

GDB TUI Dashboard inspired by gef, designed to seamlessly connect to remote targets even without a functioning gdbserver.

• No python requirements: Many vendors ship gdb without python support, we ship a single statically-linked musl binary.

• Architecture agnostic: heretek only uses information given by gdb, no extra code required!

• No gdbserver requirements: Many vendors ship invalid gdbserver binaries, this works on remote targets with just gdb, nc, cat, and mkfifo. No more wrestling with invalid or missing gdbserver binaries.

• See features for heretek demos.

• See commands for internal heretek commands.

• See env-vars for heretek env vars.

Installation

Either build from published source in crates.io.

$ cargo install heretek --locked

Usage

GDB TUI Dashboard for the understanding of vast knowledge
Usage: heretek [OPTIONS]
Options:
--gdb-path <GDB_PATH>
Override gdb executable path
-r, --remote <REMOTE>
Connect to nc session
      `mkfifo gdb_pipe; cat gdb_pipe | gdb --interpreter=mi | nc -l -p 12345 &gt; gdb_pipe`

  --ptr-size &lt;PTR_SIZE&gt;
      Switch into 32-bit mode

      Heretek will do it&#39;s best to figure this out on it&#39;s own, but this will force the pointers to be evaluated as 32 bit

      [default: auto]
      [possible values: 32, 64, auto]

-c, --cmds <CMDS>
Execute GDB commands line-by-line from file
      lines starting with # are ignored

  --log-path &lt;LOG_PATH&gt;
      Path to write log

      Set env `RUST_LOG` to change log level
