Debug

Go to Glossary List



Description: In debug mode, programs usually provide much more information than they would in release mode. This can be used in some cases to attack you. Besides, there are vulnerabilities like buffer overflows that are specific to the debug mode. Unless really needed, you should avoid running software in debug mode.
