Ironically, it has been a week of not being able to do that, and instead surreptitiously patching binaries and (in one case) a kernel, here at the shop. I read the parent comment earlier and thought "man, I miss Pai Mei."
Yeah, there are definitely cases where you can't swap out certs and all that, but in those cases the automated tools just fall down anyway. I don't miss the days of manually compiling OpenSSL with specific flags to generate just the right FLIRT symbols to find the methods I needed to hook.
