First and Second bytes of _stext

[sampleuserjohn]

How to find the first and second 8 bytes of addresses of _stext for other devices? It is needed?

Can this exploit be adapted to non-Pixel devices, by just changing the mentioned labels in the writeup?

1st and 2nd bytes of _stext, you get the kernel binary from boot.img of firmware, using unmkbootimg, then get kaddr address of _stext from kallsyms_finder in vmlinux-to-elf project. Then turn use vmlinux-to-elf on kernel from boot.img to turn into kernel.elf, then analyze kernel.elf in ghidra, then go to address of _stext in ghidra, 16 bytes are there, remember it's in little enidan, so the bytes will be input backwards to the exploit file. Happy hacking
