heretek

GDB TUI Dashboard. Connect remotely with gdb when you don't have a working gdbserver, and show tui inspired by gef.

• No gdbserver requirements: Many vendors ship invalid gdbserver binaries, this works on remote targets with just gdb, nc, cat, and mkfifo.
• No python requirements: Many vendors ship gdb without python support.
• Architecture agnostic: heretek only uses information given by gdb, no extra code required!

Build
