This commit now properly supports the exe parameter in
pwnlib/gdb.py:debug()
, allowing a different argv[0] than the executable. (See Issue #1273 )It achieves this by leveraging the gdbsever
--wrapper
argument with a python script that calls execve with the specified args.For remote connections
ssh.process(run=False)
already creates a python script that we can use.Details
/tmp/pwn-XXXXXX.py
gdbserver
has no native support forargv[0]
Therefore we leverage the
--wrapper
flag, which allows us to execute an arbitrary command.gdbserver
will attach to the first unforkedexecve
system call.The command will then be
gdbserver --wrapper /tmp/pwn-XXXXXX.py -- <other gdbserver args>
