Utility(ies?) for helping to manage the relationships between sets of binaries and their libraries
pyelftools (https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools)
./bingraph.py libs_dir exec_file
This tool emulates a portion of the runtime linux ELF linker in order to resolve symbols in the ELF segments. This allows you to see which exported symbols in a library are actually being called by the binary file. That doesn't seem very valuable, but if you're looking at a library which is exporting a lot of things, understanding where execution starts is a good starting place.
Eventually, I hope to turn this into a visual tool graphing relations in sort of a UML diagram format.
Thanks Department 13 for letting me publish this.
