To make this crystal clear, the next three bytes spell out “ELF” in ASCII: The first byte is a flag that identifies the file as an ELF binary. The next three bytes are set to 0x45, 0x4C, and 0x46. The first byte of all ELF binaries is set to hexadecimal value 0x7F. We can examine and decode the ELF header using the readelf utility and the -h (file header) option: readelf -h hello It prepares the binary to run and be able to find and access the dependencies in memory. It launches those shared objects into memory. The dynamic linker interrogates the binary to discover what dependencies it has.

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: This is the dynamic linker the binary wants to use.

libc.so.6: The GNU C Library shared object.

The VDSO capability is provided by the standard GNU C Library if the kernel supports the ASMR scheme. The VDSO is dynamically allocated and takes advantage of ASMR. VDSO shared objects adhere to the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) format, allowing them to be dynamically linked to the binary at runtime. This avoids the overhead of a context switch from user kernel mode.

linux-vdso.so: Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO) is a kernel mechanism that allows a set of kernel-space routines to be accessed by a user-space binary.

There are three entries in the output, and two of them include a directory path (the first does not): The ldd command shows us the shared object dependencies of a binary: ldd hello These include the libraries, and functions within those libraries, on which the binary depends. Most of them are labels for regions within the binary, and the names and linking information of shared objects. There are many strings inside the binary, besides the “Hello, Geek world!” from our source code. Position Independent Executables (PIE) positioned at a random address overcome this susceptibility. This is because their entry points, and the locations of their functions, will always be known to attackers. Loading executables into memory at predictable addresses makes them susceptible to attack. Standard executables have a loading address coded into their headers, which dictate where they’re loaded into memory.ĪSMR is a security technique. This allows the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASMR) system to load the executables into memory at addresses of its choosing.

Object files are relocatable, meaning the code inside them can be loaded into memory at any location. The executables are listed as shared objects because they’ve been created by the linker from the object files in such a way that they inherit this capability. The word executable is obvious in its absence. What might catch your eye is that the two executables (“wd” and “hello”) are identified as Linux Standard Base (LSB) shared objects, and the object file “wd.o” is identified as an LSB relocatable. We’ll take a look at the ELF header format shortly. This is a standard for executable files and shared object files, such as libraries. The other three files are all identified as Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) files. The PE32 is the 32-bit version, and the PE32+ is the 64-bit version.

PE stands for portable executable format, which has 32- and 64-bit versions. Taking the last one first, file tells us the “watch.exe” file is a PE32+ executable, console program, for the x86 family of processors on Microsoft Windows. The file “watch.exe” is a binary executable that has been cross-compiled to run on Windows: file wd file wd.o file hello file watch.exe The result of this process is an executable file. It links them to any libraries the program uses. The linker checks each object file for function calls to libraries. These contain the machine code the computer will eventually execute when the finished program runs, together with information for the linker. When source code is compiled by a compiler, one or more object files are created. The file called “wd.o” is an object file.

For example, the files “hello” and “wd” are binary executables.
