Installing Peach

The following sections list the steps needed to install Peach on different operating systems. Peach is written in Python and should run on any system that has a Python v2.5 run time. For Window users there is a pure binary release.

Windows

1. Install Debugging Tools for Windows (download).

2. Install !exploitable (download)

   1. Download latest zip file

   2. Copy msec.dll into the winext folder (located in the debugging tools folder)

3. Run the Peach installer (x86 download, x64 download)

If you would like to enable network captures when fuzzing network protocols then also install Wireshark or Winpcap.

Known Issues

In the x64 version of Peach, the Peach Validator tool does not work. This is a known issue that will hopefully be resolved in the future.

OS X/Linux/Unix

1. Install Python 2.5
2. Install Subversion (svn)

3. Checkout Peach source from http://peachfuzz.svn.sf.net/svnroot/peachfuzz/tags/Peach2.3.4

4. Install all required dependencies. The source to them is provided in the dependencies/src folder. For wxPython I recommend you install the OS X package available from the development site.

The UnixDebugger required vdb or vdebug module included with the dependencies.

GUI Applications

Peach has a GUI application Peach Validator that uses wxWidgets and wxpython. I have had some issues getting these running well under OS X. YMMV. Peach will still run in console mode w/o these GUI's.
