This utility allows you to run a program without ASLR (supports Linux and macOS). It is extremely simple.
Sometimes you just wish to disable ASLR. There can be many reasons to want to do so. It might be because you want to debug a program, and somehow the behavior of the program is not consistent across because of memory addresses. Perhaps your program writes memory addresses to a log and your logs are full of different memory addresses. Perhaps your program uses a special allocator that really wants the memory addresses to be the same. Perhaps your program uses some sort of dumping mechanism, like the Emacs dumper, so execution state can be saved across program runs. There can be many reasons to want to do so.
The program is a single-file executable with no other dependencies other than
libc. Simply compile it. On many systems you can ask make to do this
automatically using builtin rules:
make no-aslr
And then you may execute your program by providing the name and the arguments
to your program to no-aslr. For example
./no-aslr /bin/ls -l
You can also choose not to provide the full path. This program will use the
suitable functions to search your PATH for the executable. So the previous
example can be rewritten as
./no-aslr ls -l
This program supports Linux and macOS.
