How Shellcodes Work
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Peter Mikhalenko wrote a nice article explaining step-by-step how to write
shell code to and to use it in exploits.
DETAILS
"It's not an easy task to find a vulnerable service and find an exploit
for it. It's also not easy to defend against users who might want to
exploit your system, if you are a system administrator. However, writing
an exploit by yourself, to convert a news line from bug tracker into a
working lockpick, is much more difficult. This article is not a guide on
writing exploits, nor an overview of popular vulnerabilities. This is a
step-by-step guide on developing a shellcode, a crucial point of any
exploit software. Hopefully, learning how they work will help
conscientious and respectable developers and system administrators to
understand how malefactors think and to defend their systems against
them..."
