PINCE
PINCE is a Linux GDB front end and reverse engineering tool focused on games, though its maker says it can also serve other reverse engineering work. It is free at free and licensed under GPLv3+. Its memory tools support scanning memory and pointers, inspecting and changing variables, and locking variables. Debugging features include stepping, breakpoints, watchpoints, tracking, tracing, stack traces, and signal handling. The built-in speedhack supports Linux native and WINE/Proton processes without LD_PRELOAD or other libraries. Runtime injection supports native.so files and WINE/Proton DLL files, and the Mono/IL2CPP dissector can browse classes, fields, and methods in those process types. Users can save address tables, bookmarks, notes, and structures in.pct session files. PINCE includes a scripting engine and reusable Python library. The project directs users to its latest AppImage release, stated to run on distributions as new as or newer than Ubuntu 22.04; older distributions are not officially supported. Official local development support includes Kubuntu 22.04+ and Arch Linux, with Debian 12+, Fedora 35+, and OpenSUSE partially supported.
