Subject: Debugging vs Reverse Engineering
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 13:09:09 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2065504698.3252109.1695560949235@mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello folks,I have two questions:
1- Can a debugger like GDB be used to find the vulnerability?

2- When a hacker finds a vulnerability in a program, has that hacker used debugging techniques or reverse engineering?
Any idea welcomed.

Thank you.
