Introduction

heretek is a 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. heretek ships 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. heretek works on remote targets with just gdb, nc, cat, and mkfifo. No more wrestling with invalid or missing gdbserver binaries.
