Overview

Bro's interactive debugger is intended to aid in the development, testing, and maintenance of policy scripts. The debugger's interface has been modeled after the popular gdb debugger; the command syntax is virtually identical. While at present the Bro debugger supports only a small subset of gdb's features, these were chosen to be the most commonly used commands. Additional features beyond those of gdb, such as wildcarding, have been added to specifically address needs created by Bro policy scripts.
