Intentrace - A Contemporary Take on Strace

Explore a modern reimplementation of the classic strace tool through this lightning talk that introduces Intentrace, a Rust-based system call tracer currently in beta development. Gain insights into how binaries interact with the Linux kernel, understand the kernel's perspective on userspace code execution, and learn about expected behavioral patterns between user programs and the kernel. Discover the design decisions and improvements that motivated creating this contemporary alternative to strace, while examining the technical considerations involved in building system-level debugging tools using Rust's memory safety and performance characteristics.
