Apress

I’m really excited to tell you all that my book is finally up for pre-order. 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅: 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗟𝗙𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘄-𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴(𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) After years of working on 𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀, reversing binaries, and digging into exploitation techniques, I finally managed to put everything I know (or at least everything that fit) into one place. The book is a exploration into how 𝗘𝗟𝗙 works from start to finish: compilation, linking, loading, dynamic linking, symbol resolution, the kernel’s execve path, patching binaries, writing custom linker scripts, the whole thing. If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens between hitting Enter on ./𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 and the first instruction running, this is that story. It’s written for people who write operating systems, firmware, exploit payloads, performance-critical code, or just like knowing how things really work. Release date is 28 April 2026, but you can grab it now at the pre-order price.

Still doesn’t feel completely real that this is out there. Hope some of you find it useful. Let me know what you think when you get your hands on it.
