HyperDbg is an open-source, hypervisor-assisted debugger for Windows (with Linux support in development) that uses Intel VT-x and EPT to debug user-mode and kernel-mode code. It offers hidden hooks, memory monitoring, and tracing via Intel PT for reverse engineering, fuzzing, and system analysis.

Use cases

• debug windows kernel code invisibly with ept hooks
• trace memory reads and writes at specific addresses
• analyze malware with hypervisor-based introspection
• reverse engineer user-mode and kernel-mode binaries
• fuzz windows drivers with hardware-assisted breakpoints
• build vmi-based security research tooling

When to choose

• you need stealthy, hypervisor-level debugging on Windows that traditional debuggers like WinDbg can't provide
• you're doing malware analysis or kernel research requiring hidden hooks and memory monitoring
• you want Intel PT-based tracing and virtual machine introspection capabilities

When to avoid

• you need a debugger for Linux in production, as Linux support is still under development
• you only need simple user-mode application debugging without kernel or hypervisor features
• your hardware lacks Intel VT-x and EPT support
