Is writing shellcode still a valid skill to have/learn? @JasonH The legacy systems argument is definitely valid, but my students and peer sometimes don't accept this - despite it's being very true. |

Is writing shellcode still a valid skill to have/learn? @LucasKauffman Thanks for pointing out an actual example. Somehow I never thought of this as an assuring example of shellcode still living among us. |

Is writing shellcode still a valid skill to have/learn? Will have to look more closely to what you have pointed out. Thanks! |

Is writing shellcode still a valid skill to have/learn? Isn't this more relevant to systems than to programming? You can run an 'idiotic' program on a system with NX countermeasure, and shellcode would still be irrelevant. |

Is writing shellcode still a valid skill to have/learn? Both answers so far are pointing at the 'knowledge and/or stepping stone' side. I would love to see some example of recent exploit techniques that still rely on the use of shellcode. Don't get me wrong though, learning shellcode as a method of understanding more is a very valid reason. |

Is writing shellcode still a valid skill to have/learn? So what you're saying is that it would serve as steps and knowledge to more recent exploits? Also, you said that it's still used, does this mean there are still legacy system that shellcode is still valid, or is there some solid usage of shellcode in newer exploits? |

Occurence of ROP gadget Wow, thanks lynks. I actually clear up a few thing reading your answer. I'm waiting a few more days before marking yours the correct one. Cheer! |

Occurence of ROP gadget Thanks for the link. If I understand correctly, then if POP/POP/RET is not present, I can just find something equivalent, e.g. 2 POP/RETs ? The same thing if I want to pop 3 thing, I just need to find a POP/POP/POP/RET or something that does the same thing? |
