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.
