nop
Command nop
The nop
command allows you to easily skip instructions.
gef ➤ help nop
Patch the instruction(s) pointed by parameters with NOP. Note: this command is architecture
aware.
Syntax: nop [LOCATION] [--nb NUM_BYTES]
LOCATION address/symbol to patch
--nb NUM_BYTES Instead of writing one instruction, patch the specified number of bytes
LOCATION
indicates the address of the instruction to bypass. If not
specified, it will use the current value of the program counter.
If --nb <bytes>
is entered, gef will explicitly patch the specified number of
bytes. Otherwise it will patch the whole instruction at the target location.
