ELF should be a format of executables, but what's that
header? How do I extract information from this?
More specifically, I need to know how a program acts
in gdb - what parts of memory contain the code, where
is the data, where's that _start where the program
should be executed. Anybody could help with direct
suggestions or point a direction to dig to?
