During malware triage, a security analyst must perform step-through execution of a suspicious Windows PE file, set breakpoints, inspect registers, and leverage the MonA plug-in to automate exploit-development checks. Which tool should the analyst launch to accomplish this task?
The correct answer is Immunity Debugger. It is a Windows-native GUI debugger built specifically for security researchers. Immunity integrates with Python scripting and plug-ins such as MonA, which greatly accelerate exploit development, while allowing live debugging of Windows processes. Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer, Nessus is a vulnerability scanner, and GNU Debugger (GDB) is primarily a command-line debugger for Unix-like systems that lacks the MonA integration required in this scenario.
