| − | Every [[programming language]] eventually becomes [[binary]], whether at ''compile-time'' or ''runtime''. When writing a [[Buffer Overflows|buffer overflow]] there are many obstructions from [[SIM|security infrastructure]], such as [[DEP]], [[ASLR]], [[firewall|firewalls]], or [[IDS]] and [[IPS]] appliances, thus many [[filter bypass]] and [[IDS evasion]] techniques (such as [[alphanumeric shellcode]]) must be utilized for successful [[exploitation]] in modern environments in conjunction with [[anti-heuristics]] and [[shellcode obfuscation|obfuscation]] for maximum effectiveness. There are primarily two types of shellcode: ''executable'' shellcode and ''return-oriented'' shellcode.

| − | * Basic executable shellcode, or traditional [[null-free shellcode]] can be used on any vulnerable application (sans filters) with an executable stack.

| − | * 32-bit [[ascii shellcode]] and 64-bit [[alphanumeric shellcode]] are commonly used for filter bypass and IDS evasion.

| − | '''Return oriented shellcode''' utilizes [[Return_Oriented_Programming_(ROP)|return oriented programming]] in cases when the vulnerable buffer is non-executable, bypassing the need for an executable stack.
