Multiple debugging features
Debuggers are used to identify problems with computer software and hardware. Windows has a built-in debugger. If you’re more technically-minded x64dbg could be the right tool for you.
Open-source
If a programme is open-source, then it means the original code is available for free for anyone to manipulate. x64dbg is open-source. Alternatively, if you know what you’re doing, you can dive right into the guts of the programme and see what it can do.
Feature-rich
The key to any good debugger, whether it’s x64dbg or an alternative like ollydbg or windbg, is its features. x64dbg has plenty of options for dedicated coders, including C-like expression parser, register highlighter (using an instruction token IDA-like highlighter), and a versatile JSON database suitable for comments, bookmarks, labels, etc.
In terms of what it can debug, x64dbg handles fully-featured debugging of DLL and EXE files. This is in thanks to TitanEngine, as well as to a built-in assembler (XEDParse) and the programme’s ability to dynamically recognise modules and strings.
Robust support
Also, because of a dedicated modding community, x64dbg contains an extensive list of reports. Each update is listed alongside any changes, so you can see for yourself if a particular feature has been improved or modified.
If you do feel like taking a crack at changing the debugger for your own purposes, a dynamic stack view, fully customisable colour scheme and intuitive and familiar, yet new interface all mean you can personalise it easily.
Extensive customisation options
If you’re on the lookout for a substantial Windows debugger, thenx64dbg is an excellent, safe choice. You’ll just want to remember that you need to know what you’re doing if you feel like taking a look under the hood.
