Additioanlly, if the current instruction is conditional, Pwndbg displays whether or not it is evaluated with a green check or a red X, and folds away instructions as necessary.

## Emulation ## Emulation
Pwndbg leverages Unicorn Engine in order to only show instructions which will actually be emulated. At each debugger stop (e.g. breakpoint or single-step) the next few instructions are silently emulated, and only instrucitons which will actually be executed are displayed.

Many other projects from the past (e.g., [gdbinit][gdbinit], [PEDA][PEDA]) and presesnt (e.g. [GEF][GEF]) exist to fill some these gaps. Unfortunately, they're all either unmaintained, unmaintainable, or not well suited to easily navigating the code to hack in new features (respectively).

Pwndbg exists not only to replace all of its predecessors, but also to have a clean implementation that runs quickly and is resilient against all the weird corner cases that come up.
