Binary analysis and exploit development require a correctly configured debugger environment, and manually setting up GDB with Pwndbg, choosing the right invocation mode, and capturing crash state is error-prone and slow.
Use gdb with Pwndbg to run the provided binary in batch mode and report the backtrace, registers, and crash state.

Open an interactive session with gdb -q ./binary, which loads Pwndbg automatically through /root/.gdbinit. For quick checks, run gdb in batch mode with -ex commands to capture backtraces and registers without interaction.
Run gdb -q ./binary -ex 'set pagination off' -ex 'run' -ex 'bt' -ex 'info registers' -batch to execute the binary and capture the backtrace and register state non-interactively. Save the crash input and output for later analysis.
Both entrypoints work because Pwndbg is sourced into the system gdb via /root/.gdbinit. Use gdb as the standard entrypoint and the pwndbg wrapper when it is more convenient; do not install a separate debugger.
Yes, attach to an authorized local process with gdb -q -p <pid>. Only attach to processes explicitly in scope for the engagement, and record the process details in your report.
Use checksec for the static mitigation baseline, strace and ltrace for runtime call tracing, and pwntools for repeatable interaction or exploit scripts. These complement the debugger rather than replacing it.
