UPX uses a data compression algorithm called UCL, [5] which is an open-source implementation of portions of the proprietary NRV (Not Really Vanished) [6] algorithm. [2]UCL has been designed to be simple enough that a decompressor can be implemented in just a few hundred bytes of code.
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards.DRM exposes an API that user-space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display.
