We were overriding non-virtual functions at run time in the 8-bit days. Even in the feature article's case it would be easier and more reliable to patch the GOT (since he's using ELF on Linux).

It's hardly news but I guess it makes this common cracking technique more accessible.

Patching the GOT doesn't work for internal function calls, though.
