+edb (Evan's Debugger) is a graphical, Qt4-based debugger similar to OllyDbg,
+written on top of the ptrace API. It is built on a plugin-based architecture.
+
+Its features include:
+
+*Intuitive GUI interface
+*The usual debugging operations (step-into/step-over/run/break)
+*Conditional breakpoints
+*Debugging core is implemented as a plugin so people can have drop in replacements. 
+ Of course if a given platform has several debugging APIs available, 
+ then you may have a plugin that implements any of them.
+*Basic instruction analysis
+*View/Dump memory regions
+*Effective address inspection
+*The data dump view is tabbed, allowing you to have several views of memory open at the same time and quickly switch between them.
+*Importing and generation of symbol maps
+
+*Plugins
+   Code analysis engine which can identify functions
+   Search for binary strings
+   Code Bookmarks
+   Breakpoint management
+   Check for updates
+   Output the current state to the console
+   Environment variable viewer
+   Hardware Breakpoints
+   Heap block enumeration
+   Opcode search engine plugin has basic functionality (similar to msfelfscan/msfpescan)
+   Open file enumeration
+   Reference finder
+   String searching (like strings command in *nix)
+   Basic ROP instruction search
+   
+Compared to gdb, edb is more suited to reverse engineering, rather than white-box software debugging.
