Your shell, kernel, dynamic linker and C runtime run before you ever reach main. In this article we talk about the entire process(almost the entire process) including a little primer about the ELF file format.

This purpose of this blog is to the explore low-level side of computing. You can expect random ramblings that barely make sense about kernels, reverse engineering, exploits and whatever else I feel like. This is me documenting whatever I learn, so I don’t know who is going find it useful. If there are any errors or suggestions, contact ndl3ss@proton.me
