I would not hold out for any support here for writing shell code in any language, please read the forum rules.

i've written shellcodes for windows using MASM.
it wasn't about exploiting any software though, just testing my knowledge of assembly.

for me, its like assembly excercise, helps me remember all the small optimization tricks.

tbh, i for one would love to see more people writing shellcodes, discussing ideas on how to write small code,
which is sometimes a requirement for these type of codes.

it doesn't always have to be malicious..

Kernel_Gaddafi,
You are a nice man and I have NEVER observed you doing anything bad; as well as I can remember, anywho. But here is the thing that is missed in this type of discussion. There are many opportunistic people who frequent boards of this type. They never announce their presence, they just leach knowledge that 'they' will use maliciously.

In my opinion, there should be a locked part of this board where sensitive discussions of this nature can go on involving people who have a proven track record. They would each have a password to get in and it should have its own listing of ousers.

I know that a lot of bleeding hearts will bark at this but can anyone tell me of a safer method? .. because, I 'do' agree with you, Kernel..., we lose knowledge when we do not share it.

Please do not flame me, I mean well.

No, i wouldn't flame you at all on what you said - i agree.  :bg
An area of the forum protected by password to discuss these topics sounds good to me.

shellcodes can be creative..an art even, not so much as the animation demos of course, but still interesting.
and i do understand they can be used maliciously, but i also know that many malicious people are more likely
to use automated tools such as Metasploit for this purpose.

There is a solution to a forum of the type you suggest, join Ghirai's security forum as it is geared to handle topics of this type and Ghirai and his team run the forum well and know what they are doing.

I totally agree with hucth--.....
Each forum has got its specific audience and should hold the specific context...
This forum is supposed to be the officail website of masm32...where to discuss the assemble language and masm32 problems...
not to discuss malcious techniques...according to the forum rule...[i had not noticed it before]...
-----
so just ask the right question in the right place....er...ha...

sorry for my awful english,hope u do not blame me...

ps:it is proved that writing shellcode with masm is simple...but optimizing code is hard....
