gzexe

Compress executable files while keeping them executable. Back up the original file, appending ~ to its name and create a shell script that uncompresses and executes the binary inside it. More information: https://manned.org/gzexe.1.

  • Compress an executable file in-place:

gzexe {{path/to/executable}}

  • [d]ecompress a compressed executable in-place (i.e. convert the shell script back to an uncompressed binary):

gzexe -d {{path/to/compressed_executable}}
