About

Bindings to the ptrace() Linux system call, used to hack processes by altering the process’ memory.

Should just work on 64bit CPUs!

The following YouTube video series shows the code in action, all the while covering the What, Why and How of Process Hacking and related concepts.

Hopefully not cutting short on entertainment! ;)

How to use it?

You can get the latest version via Ultralisp (fetches new commits in a 5min cycle from this GitHub page). Simply add the Software distribution to Quicklisp’s distribution pool:

(ql-dist:install-dist "http://dist.ultralisp.org/" :prompt nil)

Now Quicklisp will also search for systems in the Ultralisp software distribution! You can download and load the cl-ptrace system with Quicklisp:

(ql:quickload "cl-ptrace")

How to remove it?

You can remove the Software distribution folders and the downloaded systems with:

(ql-dist:uninstall (ql-dist:find-dist "ultralisp"))

Common Lisp Implementation

cl-ptrace was tested on sbcl and ccl, but should only work on 64bit CPUs as of now
