I have written a short whitepaper describing techniques for writing small shellcode. This can be downloaded from: http://www.ngssoftware.com/papers/WritingSmallShellcode.pdf Abstract This paper describes an attempt to write Win32 shellcode that is as small as possible, to perform a common task subject to reasonable constraints. The solution presented implements a bindshell in 191 bytes of null-free code, and outlines some general ideas for writing small shellcode.
