The Teensy Executable Revisited

The user created a 76-byte ELF executable by exploiting the ELF specification's flexibility in overlapping data structures and using the p_paddr field to hold part of the program. The executable uses a cmp instruction to jump over the p_filesz field and into the p_memsz field, allowing it to fit the entire program inside the headers while still conforming to the ELF specification.
