Proposal

As the PyDbg-based DebuggerThreadPydbg procmon thread was orphaned last year when the project made the switch to full Python 3, the target-based process monitor component is limited to the DebuggerThreadSimple type unless running an older version of Python on the target machine.

I propose the project adopt the Vivisect framework's Vtrace library (https://github.com/vivisect/vivisect) in order to re-obtain the debugger functionality lost with PyDbg. I've already made the switch and have the requisite files available in my own repo (https://github.com/hippo-pat-amus/boofuzz_vtrace), and have tested the new DebuggerThreadVtrace type on both Windows and Linux target platforms.
