r2lldb
======
radare2-(lldb|gdb) integration
Description
-----------
This repository contains all the necessary scripts required to debug
and manipulate anything running behind an LLDB the LLVM debugger from
an interactive radare2 session.
It has been developed for debugging iOS applications running on non
jailbroken devices. And it has been tested on arm32, arm64, i386
(simulator), and real OSX applications (x86-64).
The `debugserver` required to debug on jailbroken devices can be
obtained by using the `viatools/salvarez/ios-debugserver` repository.
In theory it shuold be possible to use r2lldb on Linux and debug
Android devices running gdbserver, but this hasn't been tested yet.
Features
--------
This is the list of features that r2lldb brings:
* Debug self-signed apps non-jailbroken devices with a low level debugger
* Trace calls to any address in memory
* Show backtrace
* List symbols
* List memory regions allocated
* List ObjC classes (using code injection)
* Inject dynamic libraries
* Step-in/over in r2's Visual mode
* Set breakpoints on objc methods
* Change process environment variables
* Run r2 commands on every traced breakpoint
Local example
-------------
Using r2 as a frontend for local lldb is as easy as this:
$ r2lldb /bin/ls
Then in another terminal:
$ r2lldb -R localhost:9999
The same syntax applies to remote connections or crossplatform ones.
Example
-------
Start with `XCode` or `ios-deploy` an lldb session in the target process and type:
(lldb) script del sys.modules["r2lldb"] # force module reload
(lldb) script import r2lldb # start r2rap server
Another Example
---------------
Target:
$ r2lldb -l 1234 /bin/ls
or
$ while : ; do debugserver *:1234 /bin/ls ; done
Listening to port 1234 for a connection from *...
Got a connection, launched process /bin/ls (pid = 82363).
Host: Terminal 1
$ r2lldb -c :1234
$ while : ; do lldb -s lldb/local ; done
Listening for r2rap connections at port 9999
Host: Terminal 2
$ r2lldb -r ios localhost:9999
or
$ r2 -i r2/ios rap://localhost:9999//

GDB notes
---------
Recently, this project got the ability to use `gdb` as target for r2,
so the project name will probably change to make this clear.
In order to run r2lldb in `ndk-gdb` you may do the following:
$ prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/gdb
(gdb) python-interactive
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('/path/to/r2lldb')
>>> sys.path.append('/path/to/r2lldb/r2lldb')
>>> sys.path.append('/path/to/r2lldb/r2lldb/backend/gdb/')
>>> sys.path.append('/path/to/radare2-r2pipe/python/')
>>> import r2lldb
In another terminal:
$ r2 rap://localhost:9999
Android
-------
To debug Android apps in the target device you will need to find a copy of the `gdbserver` binary. which can be found in Termux if you install the `gdb` package, but also, it can be found inside the NDK under the `prebuilt/` directory.
iOS
---
The `debugserver` is deployed by XCode in the debugger image. If you have a jailbroken device you can just extract this binary from the dmg and copy it via SSH.
