Abstract
A method of probing a computer system includes steps of compiling a script that includes a call to a first function with first parameters, to generate executable code that includes a call to a second function with second parameters, wherein the second function and the second parameters are specified as values of the first parameters of the first function in the call to the first function, injecting the executable code into an executing module of the computer system, and as the executing module is running, executing the executable code to call the second function.
