Immunity a company specialising in penetration testing
technology, has released a new tool to quicken the process of
writing exploits, analysing malware and reverse engineering
binary files.

The organisation unveiled
Debugger at the Defcon conference in Las Vegas
Friday. Immunity claims Debugger will help researchers and
penetration testers cut their exploit-making time in half, with
"simple, understandable interfaces [and] a robust and powerful
scripting language for automating intelligent debugging."
The company also claims the tool has better connectivity to
fuzzers and exploit development tools.
"It builds on a solid user interface with function graphing, the
industry's first heap analysis tool built specifically for heap
creation, and a large and well supported Python API for easy
extensibility,"
Immunity said on its Web site.
The
Immunity team said in an online statement
that the main objective in developing Debugger was to "combine
the best of the command line-based and GUI-based debugger
worlds."
"Some are trying [Immunity Debugger] one out as it seems to take
the best of command line interfaces as well as the GUI ones and
combined it into one package," Scott Fendley, a handler with the
SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC), wrote in an
ISC Web site entry on debugging technology.
For those looking to test different debugging tools against
Debugger, Fendley suggested
IDA
Pro from DataRescue and OllyDbg, shareware some analysts say is easier
to use to than other tools.
