What is OllyDbg?

OllyDbg is a 32-bit assembler level analyzing debugger for Microsoft Windows. It is a very popular tool among reverse engineers and malware analysts due to its versatility and wide range of features useful for analyzing executable files.

Some key features of OllyDbg include:

• Disassembler - allows disassembling code from executable files and libraries, showing both the instruction itself and the comments added by the compiler
• Graphical User Interface - easy to use interface with different windows showing code, registers, memory dumps, threads and modules etc.
• Breakpoints - ability to set software or hardware breakpoints on code execution, memory access or port access
• Stepping - step through code instruction-by-instruction while examining the effects on processor registers and memory
• Plugins - supports plugins that extend functionality for more advanced debugging and analysis
• Scripting - built in debugger scripting capability for automating tasks

With these and many other features, OllyDbg provides extensive control and visibility into program execution at a very low level. This makes it a popular choice for tasks like crackme solving, game cheating, unpacking executables, analyzing malware, detecting vulnerabilities and more.
