Requirements

root@kitploit:~

 * `gdb <https://www.gnu.org/s/gdb>`_ (version 7.3+ (or RHEL5+))
 
On OS X you will need to have a codesigned gdb - see https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin
if you get errors while running with --verbose which mention codesigning.

Compatibility

Pyrasite works with Python 2.4 and newer. Injection works between versions as well, so you can run Pyrasite under Python 3 and inject into 2, and vice versa.
