Using this program you just compiled, use some of your tools to learn more about it.

ldd
Don't really worry about understanding things. Just play with it for a few minutes
- What does file tell us about this?
- Are there any interesting strings? How many strings are there?
- What are the function calls made?
- What are the system calls made?
- Is there anything else interesting you noticed? (Note: there doesn't need to be.)
