A reverse engineer requires a deep understanding of both the hardware and the software, and how it all works together. A Debugger is a software program that attaches to and controls other software programs. A debugger allows single stepping of code, debug tracing, setting breakpoints, and viewing variables and memory state in the target program as it executes in a stepwise fashion. Debuggers are invaluable in determining logical program flow. Olly Debugger, Soft Ice, IDA Pro are some of the very famous Software Debuggers. 18
