PEDA-ARM - Python Exploit Development Assistance for GDB

Finally, we merged the original peda and peda-arm. Use peda-intel.py to the original peda, and peda-arm.py to the new arm peda.

longld's peda is amazing. But it cannot work on ARM, especially on Android. So I made some change.

Target ARM is still testing. AARCH64 is now under developing.

Update in 2025-08-28:

Try to make PEDA-ARM as a purer, lighter and more flexible debugging tools by moving more functions to plugins, which still be portable and support both python 2/3. Type "plugin" to see more help. Currently, plugins support:

• plugin sample: the example plugin
• plugin cyclic: the cyclic string generate
• plugin intelasm: assemble on x86/x64 platform
• plugin armasm: assemble on arm/arm64 platform
• plugin libheap: install libheap via plugin
• plugin heap: install gef-heap via plugin (recommended)

Key Features:

• Just support all commands on original PEDA (except the part of shellcode)
• Use help peda to show all the peda help

Updated Features:

• Add source code context (if it has source code)
• Add system call detect
• Support ARM style jump instructions (b*/cbz) detect
• Support full arm/thumb assemble
• Add plugin framework. Now you can write your own plugins easily based on peda command
• Add multiple welcome logos (Your gdb need to support zlib)
• Enhance display. Make the length of the separation lines auto detect (Image is too large to display. Just find out yourself)
• Support both remote and local debug
• And so many features that I don't remember

Installation

    git clone https://github.com/alset0326/peda-arm.git ~/peda-arm
    echo "source ~/peda-arm/peda-arm.py" >> ~/.gdbinit
    echo "DONE! debug your program with gdb and enjoy"
    echo "If you have any suggestions please leave me a message"

Tips: These features are also supported on my own peda repo
