System Call

LibSysCTr is a utility library that can be used to intercept system call functions on a Linux system. Process monitoring and sandboxing are just two of the potential usages of LibSysCTr. Internally the LibSysCTr library uses the ptrace(2) functionalities by monitoring and reporting events to...

Zlibc is a read-only compressed file-system emulation. It allows executables to uncompress their data files on the fly. No kernel patch, no re-compilation of the executables and the libraries is needed. Using gzip -9, a compression ratio of 1:3 can easily be achieved! (See examples below). This...
