How to install execstack on Ubuntu and Arch Linux
Raw
install_execstack_on_ubuntu.md

Execstack is a great tool for learning and training on Linux. It is a program which sets, clears, or queries the executable stack flag of ELF binaries and shared libraries. When I was looking to install it I took me a bit to find which package to install it in.

You can install with :

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install prelink

Arch Linux

$ sudo pacman -S prelink

By the way, the apt-file tool is great for finding the packages that contain specific files (like the execstack command).
