How to debug binary-only modules and binaries

[fred vachon]

Good question.  I don't have an answer but am also interested if there 
is a way to do this.  I just wanted to mention the strings command
in case you are not already familiar with it.  I have found it very 
useful to show text inside a binary.
There is a man page for strings.

Title: *How to debug binary-only modules and binaries*

Hi,

 Nowadays it is not rare that we Linux FC1 users have to use binary-only 
modules or user-space binaries, and even worse, those binaries are 
reporting problems from time to time.

 Are there any tools can we use to debug these binary-only user-space 
programs and kernel-space modules at first hand?

 Gdb seems mostly used for debugging binaries with sources.

 Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
