App Investigation

Enter the support/app-investigation/ folder and go through the practice items below.

  1. Check to see whether there are statically-linked application executables in the system. The file command tells if the file passed as argument is a statically-linked executable. If you can't find one, install the busybox-static package.

  2. Look into what busybox is and explain why it's custom to have it as statically-linked executable.

  3. Run ldd, nm, strace, ltrace on a statically-linked application executable. Explain the results.
