intentrace – strace with intent

intentrace is a strace for everyone, intentrace works similarly to strace in that it intercepts and records system calls when a process issues them, it then reasons through these syscalls by consulting an enormous backlog of syscall deduction heuristics.

Due to the fact that linux syscalls almost always have dual usage that’s obfuscated by libraries, seeing what a syscall is exactly asking for is immensely useful when e.g. a programmer is debugging a crashing binary. Intentrace follows a similar working methodology to the one employed by the UniKraft kernel in that it attempts to cover a high percentage of the most popular linux software despite supporting only around 166 syscalls out of the 380+ Linux syscalls

This is free and open source software.
