kittydbg

A gdbinit configuration that uses kitty tiling to take better advantage of the empty space present in the pwndbg output.

Inspired by pwnmux (blog post).

Installation

Requirements: pwndbg, gdb, kitty(v0.39.1+). Linux only.

git clone https://github.com/k4lizen/kittydbg.git
echo "source $PWD/kittydbg/gdbinit.py" >> ~/.gdbinit

Make sure that kittydbg is sourced after pwndbg is loaded.

In your kitty config you need:

allow_remote_control yes
enabled_layouts splits

you can have enabled layouts other than splits, but you need to be using splits for kittydbg to spawn the windows correctly.

Usage

Start pwndbg from kitty.

It also works if pwndbg is started from a pwntools script, I use this in my scripts:

context.terminal = "kitten @ launch --location=before --cwd=current --bias=65".split()

Tbh I'm not sure if this is the best layout, if you fork this / make some adjustments please do share!
