Usage ideas

One thing parasite code can do is call clone() and create thread having access to main process VM, FDT, FS, etc. The new thread can then

Check socket FDs to get stuck/closed by polling them
Apply "logrotate" on the fly
Garbage collector
Catch SIGSEGV, do smth with mappings and act upon "illegal" memory access
- Remote swap for task
- WSS detection

Another is to do some activity on the victim and then just unload. With this we can

Death detection. Open pipe/socket and pass the other end outside. Once the victim dies the pipe/socket will wake up.
Binary updates. E.g. live patching or libs relink
Tunneling -- replace opened socket with unix one, and send the former one to the caller
- Inject socket spy
- Pack/Unpack
- Crypt/Decrypt
- Traffic analyzer
- Traffic fanout (multiplex)
The same for files on disks -- proxy via pipe(s)
- Filter/split logs
Do "nohup" on the fly
Debug stuff by MSG_PEEK-ing sockets messages of tee+splice sockets
Re-connect sleeping sockets to other addresses (not 100% safe)
"Soft" restart of a service -- call execve() from it's context
Force entering into CT (except pid namespace, probably)
Re-open all files (and cwd, root) to facilitate moving on new / (e.g. for disk replacement)
Remove leaks from e.g. malloc/free heap
Force reparent (pid change!)
- Re-open all files -- force daemonize
