This example shows using a kprobe to act as a dnat mechanism to divert
traffic for arbitrary endpoints. It rewrite the arguments to a syscall
while they're still in userspace, and before the syscall has a chance
to copy the argument into kernel space.
Although this is an example, it also acts as a test because the mapped
address is 255.255.255.255:555 -> real address, and that's not a legal
address to connect to. If the helper is broken, the example will fail
on the intermediate steps, as well as the final step to verify the
rewrite of userspace memory succeeded.
