Verify that shc is installed properly. $ ./shc -v shc parse ( -f ) : No source file specified shc Usage: shc [ -e date ] [ -m addr ] [ -i iopt ] [ -x cmnd ] [ -l lopt ] [ -rvDTCAh ] -f script 3. Create a Sample Shell Script $ vi test.sh #!/bin/bash need to put at the beginning of a script file. #!/bin/bash echo -n "Test" 4. Create Binary of Script $ ./shc -T -f test.sh -T : this will allow the created binary files to be traceable using programs like strace...
