Summary

We just touched upon some fundamental aspects of the Linux environment and the tools that will be used most commonly in the demonstrations from each chapter. Binary analysis is largely about knowing the tools and resources that are available for you and how they all fit together. We only briefly covered the tools, but we will get an opportunity to emphasize the capabilities of each one as we explore the vast world of Linux binary hacking in the following chapters. In the next chapter, we will delve into the internals of the ELF binary format and cover many interesting topics, such as dynamic linking, relocations, symbols, sections, and more.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
