Is it really impossible — […]

In Search of LD_PRELOAD

This note was written in 2014, but I was just under repression on Habr and it did not see the light of day. During my ban, I forgot about it, but now I found it in my drafts. I thought about deleting it, but maybe it will be useful to someone. In general, a small Friday admin read on the topic of finding 'enabled' LD_PRELOAD. 1. A brief digression for […]
