Ignore memory regions mapped from file #44

Closed bcoles closed 5 years ago

bcoles commented 6 years ago

This is a simple patch to ignore memory regions mapped from file. This is much faster, decreasing the time required to complete by more than half.

Same as #38, but for mimipenguin.py rather than mimipenguin.sh.

In retrospect, it appears this change, and the change in #38, causes mimipenguin to no longer retrieve credentials from gnome-password.

Is it worth adding this change then? Your call. If you say yes ill merge it in

Probably best not to proceed until the root cause can be identified. Unfortunately.

I've created #45 to revert #38.
