If you could tell me which bits are unclear to you explicitly, it would
be very helpful. As I understand it, it's difficult for me to say which
bits are troublesome for you. I acceupt it may not be clear, but I
genuinely need help for details in /why/ it's not clear, and which bits
are troublesome.

It depends upon the scope of the college project. Intercepting
sys_execve might be a reasonable solution, or hooking into something
like the Linux Trace Toolkit might be better.
