I have a hex dump of an ELF file (last page of a past exam). I know the offset of strtab and the offset of symtab and I am asked 2 question:

  1. what is the value of 'ooo' symbol ?
  2. In which section is the string "The Netwide Assembler"?

How can I find this?

If you got a full hexedit of the elf you can convert it to elf and use readelf & objdump to find this symbols.

If you can't convert the hex to elf you can try parse the symtab and the tab manualy, just look at this refernce http://www.skyfree.org/linux/references/ELF_Format.pdf
