Research direction

Start by reviewing the referenced slimm609/checksec.sh implementation and the output produced by readelf for the extended ELF information. Then locate the C# security-analysis entry point in AttackSurfaceAnalyzer and determine how an external readelf call should be represented. Done means the requested ELF data is gathered through C# calls to readelf and covered by appropriate verification.
