"how one uses LC_PRELOAD to reverse engineer a Windows temperature driver running under Virtualbox on Linux."

I'm pretty sure you meant LD_PRELOAD there. I'm guessing for logging calls to libusb?

Yes, LD_PRELOAD. Not sure how that got through.

The preload was useful for logging, but even more useful for injecting crafted data into the Windows driver. That's how he was able to verify that he had the protocol right.
