Introducing Decompiler Explorer
Thanks to Matt for publishing Mdec which prompted several of us at vector35 to work on this current release together with Matt, Kevin, and Ilfak who graciously provided a Hex-Rays license and offered to split the hosting costs with Vector35. Anyway, check out the blog post for more details. And also thanks to Jon for the amazing logo!
- Explore multiple decompilers and compare their output with minimal effort

I made a quick comparison showing off the decompiler output of some of the most popular RE tools (Ghidra, Cutter/Radare2, IDA Pro, and Binary Ninja/Cloud)
I also recently learned about this tool that compares decompiler output live.

Any tips for newish C debugging please.
By far the best debugger for C is gdb+pwndbg (https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg)

Hacked GDB Dashboard Puts It All on Display
There are a lot of these types of tools already in the reverse engineering community (in order of lowest chance of breaking when you throw really weird stuff at it):
GEF: https://gef.readthedocs.io/en/master/
PWNDBG: https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg
PEDA: https://github.com/longld/peda
They also come with a slew of different features to aid in RE/exploit dev, but many of them are also useful for debugging really weird issues.

Debugging with GDB
GDB is great. I definitely recommend checking out watchpoints as well, a very useful tool for monitoring how a variable changes over time.
GDB also has many good plugins - pwndbg has tons of features and UI improvements over stock GDB.

Making GDB Easier: The TUI Interface
I've recently started a new semester for my Master's program, and the first project for the semester involves using the GDB tool (GNU Debugger) to analyze a stack on a simple C program that contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. A couple of semesters ago, I had been given a VM pre-loaded with a more featured debugger tool called pwndbg. Pwndbg was excellent because it was easy to use and easily allowed accessed to information such as current assembly code being executed and a view of the program registers. So, going back to using GDB felt a little like stepping back into the stone age.
