Ghiro vs Edb-Debugger: Which IoT & Device Search Engine tool is Best in 2025?

Ghiro is an open-source, automated digital image forensics platform available for installation on Kali Linux, designed to analyze images, extract metadata, detect manipulations, and uncover hidden data. Developed by volunteers, Ghiro processes formats like JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, offering features such as Error Level Analysis (ELA), metadata extraction, and hash verification. With a web-based interface and support for case management, it’s ideal for forensic analysts, cybersecurity professionals, and ethical hackers conducting image authenticity investigations. Ghiro’s Virtual Appliance and Ubuntu-based setup simplify deployment, making it accessible for digital forensic labs.

Edb-Debugger, pre-installed on Kali Linux at /usr/bin/edb, is an open-source, cross-platform graphical debugger for x86 and x86-64 binaries, inspired by OllyDbg but designed for Linux, with ongoing ports to FreeBSD, OpenBSD, macOS, and Windows. Developed by Evan Teran, EDB (Evan’s Debugger) leverages the ptrace API and Capstone disassembly library to provide a modular, extensible platform for reverse engineering and malware analysis. With its intuitive GUI, plugin-based debugging core, and support for conditional breakpoints, it’s a vital tool for cybersecurity researchers, ethical hackers, and forensic analysts.
