[dundee] GDB Config file

[Lee Hughes]

Glad you solved the problem, Back in AIX unix land, I used to use something
called xdb, it was awesome, and you could almost do anything and stay in xwindows
too!!! (i.e, it was spread over three 21inch monitors) I could bust any bug when I had
that setup...

it's that cool, I don't think you can get it for gnu/linux, cloest thing I saw was
ddd

but it's nowhere as good a xdb

shame..

Cheers,
Lee

Nevermind, after two hours of piping locate through grep with random keywords, i found a .gdbinit command in /root/ on DVL strychnine. copied it to my ubuntu install, and it worked a treat. :)

This is one of those situations where unless you know what you're looking for, googling really doesnt help :(

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a buffer overflow whitepaper for uni, and I'm having some trouble with GDB. I can get it to do what I want, however I've seen GDB configured in such a way that information is presented much easier.





Standard ubuntu/debian derivatives dont present the information in a great way thats easy to read, however using DVL-strychnine (a live disk based on Backtrack for practicing exploits) , data is presented in a great way. would anyone have any idea how to get the GDB on my Virtual ubuntu system, look like the GDB on my strychnine system?



Screenshots of the difference attatched.
