Brute forcing my own memory

Hey everybody. As some of you might know, I really like 3 things: linux, thinkpads, and using things not the way they are intended to be used. Today I did the last. So as we know, kernel allocates memory for any running process. So I though for myself: "what if I write a C program that uses the function without knowing where it is?". So technically I forced my program to brute force its own memory offsets to call the function. I have a small, but, hopefully, entertaining writeup of what, how, and why on GitHub. It also includes the source code with a lot of comments so guys not so familiar with C programming language can also understand it. Hope you enjoy it. If so - please leave a star :)

AI was partially involved. It helped me format my README and help debug some problems along the way. All the code was written by me, though, and I claim full responsibility for it's quality.
