Shellcode
Sign in to saveShellcode is executable code intended to be used as a payload for exploiting a software vulnerability. The term includes shell because the attack originally described an attack that opens a command shell that the attacker can use to control the target machine, but any code that is injected to gain access that is otherwise not allowed can be called shellcode. For this reason, some consider the name shellcode to be inaccurate.
