Testing Infrastructure for PEDA

This repo can be used to test PEDA, the Python Exploit Development Assistance for GDB plugin.

Relevant files

• bin/: compiled location for test programs
• src/: source for test programs
• inputs/: list of gdb commands used in tests (passed with the -x switch to gdb)
• compare_pedas.sh: BASH script used to compare versions of PEDA/GDB
• run_peda_test.sh: BASH script used to run PEDA under a given GDB
• Makefile: Makefile for building test programs. Run make to build.

Usage

# Build test programs
make

# Run test with specific GDB and PEDA
./run_peda_test.sh ./bin/bof inputs/bof01.gdb gdb ~/peda/peda.py

# Compare PEDA on different versions of GDB
./compare_pedas.sh ./bin/bof ./inputs/bof01.gdb \
    /path/to/gdb1 ~/peda/peda.py \
    /path/to/gdb2 ~/peda/peda.py

# Compare different versions of PEDA on the same GDB
./compare_pedas.sh ./bin/bof ./inputs/bof01.gdb \
    gdb ~/peda-master/peda.py \
    gdb ~/peda-test/peda.py
