So today (actually it’s morning again, so kinda tonight) I was annoyed by barrierc so much that I had to fix its shitty behavior. It was blanking out my screen and turning them off every 2 minutes, and overriding my Xorg settings that I carefully integrated in my i3’s autostart.conf file.
Anyways, long story short, this is my crappy writeup on how to patch a binary if the binary doesn’t want to behave, and shows how to override its behaviors and its used function/symbol calls with an LD_PRELOAD hook:

I’d like to think this is a “great user hack” because I never thought I will have to go to this last resort to fix a program’s shitty behavior. Turns out I had to use the LD_PRELOAD injection because ltrace didn’t reveal anything as the API design of the Xorg library is using the internal pointers :-/
Anyways, maybe this might be interesting for someone to learn about Linux/POSIX and glibc’s attack surface 😀
