shiva

Shiva is a Just-In-Time (JIT) micropatching engine designed for ELF dynamic linking and patching of native Linux software on AArch64 and X86_64 architectures. It allows users to write C-based patches that can be compiled into ELF relocatable objects, enabling runtime modification of binaries at load-time through a method known as "chained linking." Notably, Shiva supports dynamic patching while retaining compatibility with existing ELF interpreters and emphasizes a straightforward user guide for seamless integration into existing workflows.
