This is the repository for Binary Ninja Debugger. The debugger is written in C++ and is shipped with BN as a plugin.

## Features

- Multi-platform debugging support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- Multiple debug adapters (LLDB, GDB, WinDbg, etc.)
- Remote debugging capabilities
- **Custom Debug Adapter API** - Create your own debug adapters in C++ or Python
- Time Travel Debugging (TTD) support
- Kernel debugging on Windows

## Custom Debug Adapters

The debugger now supports custom debug adapters that can be implemented in both C++ and Python. This allows extending the debugger with support for new protocols, targets, or specialized debugging scenarios.

See [docs/custom_debug_adapters.md](docs/custom_debug_adapters.md) for detailed documentation and examples.

## Platform and Target Support

This is the current comparability matrix of the debugger. The columns stand for where we run BN and the rows stand for the targets.
