Have you ever been in the middle of groking some assembly when all of sudden you wanted to write down a little note so you'll quickly remember what's going on the next time? Well now you can!
- GDB with pwndbg or PEDA
git clone https://github.com/supersam654/gdb-comments.git ~/.gdb-comments
echo "source ~/.gdb-comments/gdb-comments.py" >> ~/.gdbinit
> comment Whatever you want to say and don't worry about escaping anything
Will add a comment to wherever your PC is pointing to. If there's already a comment there, it will get overwritten.
> comment -c
Clear the comment on the current line.
> comment -a 0x55555555463c $eax = 0xdeadbeef
Add the comment $eax = 0xdeadbeef to line 0x55555555463c. You can also get fancy and add comments to places like $rip+13.
Behind the scenes, this creates a file called /path/to/exe.comments so there will be a new file in whatever directory the binary is in. That file is very human-readable. It's just a bunch of addresses and comments. If an address has multiple comments, the last one gets displayed.
- Add support for gef
- Better support for cores (better naming convention and easier way to comment around the file)
