How do I set up authentication for GDB remote debugging?

To set up authentication for GDB remote debugging, you can use SSH tunneling or configure GDB's built-in authentication options.

Can you explain how to use SSH tunneling for this?

Sure! You can create an SSH tunnel by using the command ssh -L local_port:remote_host:remote_port user@remote_host. This forwards the local port to the remote GDB server.

What if I want to use GDB's built-in authentication?

You can enable authentication in GDB by using the set remote auth command followed by your authentication method, like 'password' or 'token'.

Are there any security concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, always ensure that your authentication credentials are secure and consider using encrypted connections to protect your data.
