## What it is
Dwarf is a full-featured multi-architecture, multi-OS debugger built on PyQt5 and Frida, aimed at reverse engineers, security analysts, and crackers. It provides a GUI for attaching to local, Android, and iOS processes, plus scripting and tracing tools built on the Frida engine.

## Use cases
- debug android apps dynamically
- attach a debugger to an ios process
- reverse engineer a native binary on linux
- trace java method calls in an android app
- trace native function calls with register values
- write frida scripts with autocomplete and inline docs
- inject scripts into a running android app
- debug local binaries like a gui ollydbg alternative

## When to choose
- you need a GUI debugger for Android or iOS dynamic analysis
- you want Frida-powered debugging without writing all scripts from scratch
- you need cross-platform local process debugging with a modern UI
- you want to trace Java or native calls with register context

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight headless debugger for CI pipelines
- you only need static reverse engineering without dynamic instrumentation
- you require a fully stable tool - the project notes known UI issues and a 2.0 rewrite in progress

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, security, developer-tools, gui, cli
- domain: reverse-engineering, security, mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: windows, python, cross-platform
- tags: debugger, frida, pyqt5, dynamic-analysis, android-debugging, ios-debugging, unicorn, capstone, keystone, tracing, linux, macos, android, ios
