Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 2)

A toy project demonstrating ELF relocation-based weird machines, where shellcode and data are encoded in relocation addends and executed before main via .init_array overwrite. It's an interesting proof-of-concept for ABI-compliant in-memory staging without code on disk, primarily for security research and obfuscation.

Target audience: security researchers, reverse engineers, low-level programmers
