Developing x64dbg

Presented at Nuit du Hack 2016, July 2, 2016, 7:30 p.m. (45 minutes).

Three years ago we desperately needed a user-friendly 64-bit debugger. Today there is one and it's called x64dbg.

This talk will give you an insight in what inspired it, how the development process went and where this project is going in the future. OllyDbg reigned the 32-bit debugging era for years, but it has it flaws and sadly no support for 64-bit debugging. Many of x64dbg's features are inspired by OllyDbg, reinventing the good parts and discarding the bad parts.

The talk will end with a demo showing off x64dbg's features on a real-life scenario.
