Milan Stevanovic · Apress eBooks · 2014
The purpose of this chapter is to describe the sequence of events that happens when the user starts a program. The analysis is primarily focused on pointing out the details of interplay between the operating system and the layout of the executable binary file, which is tightly connected with the process memory map. Needless to say, the primary focus of this discussion is the execution sequence of the executable binaries created by building the code in C/C++. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
