I'll take this as an opportunity to plug some other RE tools: IDA is considered the holy grail. A base version is free, but its most popular feature, the disassembler, is $$$. Does debugging and static analysis. NSA's Ghidra is great too: https://ghidra-sre.org/ https://ghidra-sre.org/. last time I checked I don't think it did debugging but they were adding it. It's great for static analysis though, it has a great free disassembler (traditionally IDA's domain). Cheat Engine is pretty amazing too, despite the goofy name: https://www.cheatengine.org/ https://www.cheatengine.org/. It's the best tool for pointer scans imo, but also does debugging and is scriptable. Popular for making video game trainers, but it can be used for anything.
