Is it possible to have the size of an ELF file on disk #451
Comments
Randomly saw this issue at the top of my feed- I'm wondering what you intend to use this for. I ask because for certain use-cases, exposing this as a calculated value based on abstracted header values could be a bit dangerous if not very carefully and clearly documented I'm thinking specifically of cases involving forensic analysis, where malware could take advantage of this behavior to fool analysis logic I'm not associated with the pyelftools project, so feel free to ignore my question- I'm just curious :) |

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to have the size of an ELF file on the disk, based on the information in its header ?
If I understood well,
e_shoff + (e_shentsize * e_shnum)
is not always equal to the size on the disk.Thanks!
