Which of the following tools is primarily used to analyze and manipulate the execution of a program for the purpose of identifying potential security vulnerabilities?
GNU debugger (GDB) is a tool that is used to analyze the execution of a program by allowing a user to control the execution, examine data, and change the program to fix bugs and identify security issues. This functionality is essential for finding vulnerabilities within software. Immunity debugger is also a debugging tool but less prevalent in this context. Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and not a debugger, while OpenVAS is known for vulnerability scanning.
