WinDbg?

WinDbg is a cool, but debug.com predates it by quite a bit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debug_(command)

  • Thus making it "a similar tool for the modern era" as you were asking for, IMO.

    My favorite thing about WinDbg is that many people pronounce it "Windbag".

    • WinDbg is just a debugger: it does not assemble or disassemble. It can't patch running programs in memory. Moreover, I don't consider Windows to be part of the modern era, as I haven't used a Windows machine for 20 years.

      So, no, WinDbg has nothing to do with debug.com.

  • Okay, but is it not what you wished for, "a similar tool for the modern era"?

    edit: I see I simul-posted with u/modeless, but I can't remove it now that there's a (duplicate) reply. Maybe mods can remove or at least collapse mine (their ID is one lower so they were first)
