Flipper
A desktop debugging platform for mobile developers
Flipper is a platform for debugging iOS, Android and React Native apps. Visualize, inspect, and control your apps from a simple desktop interface. Use Flipper as is or extend it using the plugin API. Flipper aims to be your number one companion for mobile app development on iOS and Android. Therefore, we provide a bunch of useful tools including a log viewer, interactive layout inspector, and network inspector. Flipper is built as a platform. In addition to using the tools already included, you can create your own plugins to visualize and debug data from your mobile apps. Flipper takes care of sending data back and forth, calling functions, and listening for events on the mobile app. Both Flipper's desktop app and native mobile SDKs are open-source and MIT licensed. This enables you to see and understand how we are building plugins, and of course join the community and help improve Flipper. We are excited to see what you will build on this platform. -

pwndbg
Exploit Development and Reverse Engineering with GDB Made Easy
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. -

Apply microsegmentation by automating Kubernetes-native network policies. Unify threat detection and incident response across containers, Kubernetes, and cloud with out-of-the-box Falco rules leveraging syscalls, Kubernetes audit logs and cloud logs. Gain deep insight with container and Kubernetes monitoring that is fully Prometheus compatible. Validate compliance against standards like PCI, NIST and SOC2 for containers, hosts, Kubernetes and cloud. Sysdig created Falco, the open standard for runtime threat detection for containers, hosts, Kubernetes and cloud. -

TraceRoot
Find the Root Cause in Your Code's Trace
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. -

Bot Framework Emulator
Locally test and debug chat bots built with the Bot Framework SDK
Bot Framework Emulator is a desktop application that allows bot developers to test and debug bots, either locally or remotely. Using the Emulator, you can chat with your bot and inspect the messages that your bot sends and receives. The Emulator displays messages as they would appear in a web chat UI and logs JSON requests and responses as you exchange messages with your bot. Before you deploy your bot to the cloud, run it locally and test it using the Emulator. You can test your bot using the Emulator even if you haven't yet created it with Azure Bot Service or configured it to run on any channels. Before connecting your bot to the Bot Framework Emulator, you need to run your bot locally. You can use Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code to run your bot, or use the command line. When you are developing behind a corporate proxy, the Emulator will use the configured environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY, which specify the proxy URL route for HTTP and HTTPs requests. -

BotKube
An app that helps you monitor your Kubernetes cluster
BotKube is a messaging bot for monitoring and debugging Kubernetes clusters. It's built and maintained by InfraCloud. BotKube can be integrated with multiple messaging platforms like - Slack, Mattermost, Microsoft Teams to help you monitor your Kubernetes cluster(s), debug critical deployments and gives recommendations for standard practices by running checks on the Kubernetes resources. BotKube watches Kubernetes resources and sends a notification to the channel if any event occurs for example a ImagePullBackOff error. You can customize the objects and level of events you want to get from the Kubernetes cluster. You can turn on/off notifications simply by sending a message to @BotKube. BotKube can execute kubectl commands on Kubernetes cluster without giving access to Kubeconfig or underlying infrastructure. With BotKube you can debug your deployment, services or anything about your cluster right from your messaging window. -

DELVE
Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language
Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language. The goal of the project is to provide a simple, full featured debugging tool for Go. Delve should be easy to invoke and easy to use. Chances are if you're using a debugger, things aren't going your way. With that in mind, Delve should stay out of your way as much as possible. Delve aims to be a very simple and powerful tool, but can be confusing if you're not used to using a source level debugger in a compiled language. This document will provide all the information you need to get started debugging your Go programs. The first CLI subcommand we will explore is debug. This subcommand can be run without arguments if you're in the same directory as your main package, otherwise it optionally accepts a package path. -
