override hardcoded paths in executables

 Overriding hardcoded paths in executables can be a complex and potentially risky operation. It's generally not recommended, as it may compromise the integrity and security of the executable. However, there are a few approaches you can consider, keeping in mind that they might not be suitable for all situations and can have unintended consequences. 1. **Using Symbolic Links**:    You can create symbolic links to replace hardcoded paths. For example, if an executable expects a library or resource at a specific path, you can create a symbolic link at that path pointing to the actual location of the library or resource. This approach might work for simple cases but can be cumbersome and might not work for all scenarios. 2. **LD_PRELOAD Environment Variable**:    You can use the `LD_PRELOAD` environment variable to load a shared library that intercepts and overrides specific library or system calls made by the executable. This approach is often used for intercepting file-related calls
