Allows you to store large volumes of high cardinality profiling data cheaply and efficiently. FlameQL enables custom queries to select and aggregate profiles quickly and efficiently for easy analysis. Analyze application performance profiles using our suite of profiling tools. Understand usage of CPU and memory resources at any point in time and identify performance issue before your customer do. Collect, store, and analyze profiles from various external profiling tools in one central location. Link to your Open Telemetry tracing data and get request-specific or span-specific profiles to enhance other observability data like traces and logs.

TraceRoot.AI is an open source, AI-native observability and debugging platform designed to help engineering teams resolve production issues faster. It consolidates telemetry into a single correlated execution tree that provides causal context for failures. AI agents operate over this structured view to summarize issues, pinpoint likely root causes, and even suggest actionable fixes or draft GitHub issues and pull requests. It offers interactive trace exploration with zoomable log clusters, span and latency views, and code-linked insights. Lightweight SDKs for Python and TypeScript enable seamless instrumentation using OpenTelemetry, with support for both self-hosted and cloud deployment. Human-in-the-loop interaction is central: developers can guide reasoning by selecting relevant spans or logs, then verify agent reasoning through traceable context.

WinXP, Vista, Win7, linux, OpenSolaris native port of the BSD PSPSDK (ps2dev.org), with freely distributable import libraries and header files (DevPaks) for building cross compiled homebrew Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) applications.

ACRA is a library enabling Android applications to automatically post their crash reports to a report server. It is targeted to android applications developers to help them get data from their applications when they crash or behave erroneously. A crash reporting feature for android apps is native since Android 2.2 (FroYo) but only available through the official Android Market (and with limited data). ACRA is a great help for Android developers. ACRA's notification systems are clean. If a crash occurs, your application does not add user notifications over existing system's crash notifications or reporting features. By default, the "force close" dialog is not displayed anymore, to enable it set alsoReportToAndroidFramework to true. The user is notified of an error only once, and you might enhance the perceived quality of your application by defining your own texts in the notifications/dialogs.

LuaEdit is an IDE/Text Editor/Debugger for the Lua language. Its interface looks like MS Visual Studio .Net� and includes syntax highlighting, code completion, advance breakpoint management, efficient search engines, etc. Client under GPL and server (core debugger) under LGPL.

HT is a file editor/viewer/analyzer for executables. The goal is to combine the low-level functionality of a debugger and the usability of IDEs. We plan to implement all (hex-)editing features and support of the most important file formats.

NB: Development has been moved to Github: https://github.com/avrdudes/avarice AVaRICE is a program for interfacing the Atmel JTAG ICE to GDB to allow users to debug their embedded AVR target.

LeakCanary is a reliable memory leak detection library for Android. It effectively detects leaks and narrows down the cause of each leak through its in-depth knowledge of the internals of the Android Framework. This helps developers avoid and dramatically reduce OutOfMemoryError (OOM) crashes. A memory leak is a programming error that can cause an OutOfMemoryError crash. It’s often caused by bugs related to the lifecycle of objects, and can occur fairly often in Android applications. LeakCanary helps to find and fix those leaks during development so you never have to experience another OOM crash.

RenderDoc is a free MIT licensed stand-alone graphics debugger that allows quick and easy single-frame capture and detailed introspection of any application using Vulkan, D3D11, OpenGL & OpenGL ES or D3D12 across Windows 7 - 10, Linux, Android, Stadia, or Nintendo Switch™. I work on RenderDoc myself and you can always contact me with any problems or comments. I'll respond to you directly and personally, and I'm used to helping people with private or NDA'd projects. RenderDoc is 100% open source and development all happens on github. Check out the source and see how any feature is implemented, report a bug you've found, or request a new feature or improvement. Usability matters. Tools should have a low barrier to entry and be easy to use and understand. RenderDoc makes the process of getting started as smooth as possible, and simplifies common workflows. Support is distributed separately for authorized developers as part of the NintendoSDK.

Pwndbg is a fast, simple and lightweight tool for modern debugging. It improves debugging experience with the strength of GDB for low-level software developers, hardware hackers, reverse engineers, and exploit developers. It provides features crucial for efficient debugging in the world of low-level programming. Vanilla GDB is terrible to use for reverse engineering and exploit development. Typing x/g30x $esp is not fun, and does not confer much information. The year is 2024 and GDB still lacks a real hexdump command! GDB's syntax is arcane and difficult to approach. Windbg users are completely lost when they occasionally need to bump into GDB.

pwru is an eBPF-based tool for tracing network packets in the Linux kernel with advanced filtering capabilities. It allows fine-grained introspection of kernel state to facilitate debugging network connectivity issues.

Jasmin is an interpreter for the x86 assembly language with a full-featured development environment aimed for educational purposes.

iat is Iso9660 Analyzer Tool, this tool have engine for detect many structure of image file

This is a package to integrate PHP Debug Bar with Laravel. It includes a ServiceProvider to register the debugbar and attach it to the output. You can publish assets and configure it through Laravel. It bootstraps some Collectors to work with Laravel and implements a couple custom DataCollectors, specific for Laravel. It is configured to display Redirects and (jQuery) Ajax Requests. DebugBar is very easy to use and you can add it to any of your projects in no time. The easiest way is using the render() functions. Use the DebugBar only in development. It can slow the application down (because it has to gather data). So when experiencing slowness, try disabling some of the collectors. You can show all queries, including binding + timing, show information about the current Route, show the currently loaded views, show the Laravel version and Environment, etc.

It’s easy to make great things in PHP, but bugs can creep in just as easily. Psalm is a free & open-source static analysis tool that helps you identify problems in your code, so you can sleep a little better. Psalm helps people maintain a wide variety of codebases, large and small, ancient and modern. On its strictest setting it can help you prevent almost all type-related runtime errors, and enables you to take advantage of safe coding patterns popular in other languages. Psalm also fixes bugs automatically, allowing you to improve your code without breaking a sweat. If Psalm cannot infer a type for an expression then it uses a mixed placeholder type. mixed types can sometimes mask bugs, so keeping track of them helps you avoid a number of common pitfalls. Psalm has a Language Server that’s compatible with a range of different IDEs. Psalm can fix many of the issues it finds automatically.

SETEdit is a friendly text editor. It is a text mode application with windows, buttons, mouse support, etc. The main target of the project are programmers so the editor is mainly oriented to programming.
