# DBIdbg
A x86 Linux debugger that can be used to debug things normally too complex for debuggers.
## Motivation
To speed up the debugging process (especially debugging black-box/RE) by allowing for debug breakpoints to be set on much more abstract things than normal debuggers allow, such as:
* Count the number of times this tight loop is run
* Break whenever a string with the contents "AAAA" is loaded into rdi
### Why Rust?
I wanted to learn rust.
Also to remove core debugger stuff as a potential source of errors/crashes.
There's going to be enough memory-unsafe stuff happening already, I don't want parts of the debugger to potentially add to the mess.
