elf.js

An on going project to learn ELF format. The end goal is to be able to generate simple but actually working executables.

Quick Start

Supports only x86_64 Linux. You need only node.js:

$ node elf.js gen hello 'Hello, World'
$ ./hello

It literally generates a working ELF64 executable file byte by byte that prints Hello, World when run on Linux x86_64.

Development

Recompile elf.js from elf.ts

$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/.bin/tsc
