💅 WLD — the Witchcraft Linker, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, wld is the tool that takes an executable and goes poof — now it's a shared library. transform executables into shared libraries. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wld -libify [-noinit] file

like, that's it. one flag, one optional flag, one file. we love a low-effort queen. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The Witchcraft Linker is part of the Witchcraft Compiler Collection. iykyk. 💜

here are the options, no gatekeeping:

  • -libify — Libifies input ELF executable into a shared library. that's the main character move, that's the whole point of being here fr fr. 🔥
  • -noinit — Ignore constructors and desctructors in output library. like, we're just not doing the setup/teardown thing, okay? periodt.

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

here's the iconic demo, copy it exactly bestie:

cp /bin/cat /tmp && wld -libify /tmp/cat

what this does: Copy the executable /bin/cat to /tmp and transform it into a shared library. cat but make it a library. it's giving glow-up. 😭✨

💀 NOTES 💀

heads up: wld alters the file passed as argument. no copy, no undo, no "wait bestie i changed my mind". back it up first or cry later. 🙈

The Witcraft Compiler Collection is a set of reverse engineering tools. that's the family wld belongs to. 🧚
