Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computer security, a shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability. It is called shellcode" because it typically starts a command shell from which the attacker can control the compromised machine. Shellcode is commonly written in machine code, but any piece of code that performs a similar task can be called shellcode. Because the function of a payload is not limited to merely spawning a shell, some have suggested that the name shellcode is insufficient. However, attempts at replacing the term have not gained wide acceptance."
