An open-source binary debugger for Windows, aimed at malware analysis and reverse engineering of executables you do not have the source code for. There are many features available and a comprehensive [plugin system](https://plugins.x64dbg.com) to add your own. You can find more information on the [blog](https://x64dbg.com/blog)!

## Installation & Usage

1. Download a snapshot from [GitHub](https://github.com/x64dbg/x64dbg/releases) or [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/x64dbg/files/snapshots) and extract it in a location your user has write access to.
2. _Optionally_ use `x96dbg.exe` to register a shell extension and add shortcuts to your desktop.
3. You can now run `x32\x32dbg.exe` if you want to debug a 32-bit executable or `x64\x64dbg.exe` to debug a 64-bit executable! If you are unsure you can always run `x96dbg.exe` and choose your architecture there.

You can also [compile](https://github.com/x64dbg/x64dbg/wiki/Compiling-the-whole-project) x64dbg yourself with a few easy steps!

## Historical Donors

Before fully transitioning to [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/mrexodia), this project received donations through BountySource. The original donation terms included an optional website link for donors who requested one at the time of donation. Links marked below reflect those requests. BountySource has since been shut down, so these records are reconstructed by hand. If you donated during this period and your username/amount is missing or incorrect, please reach out.
