shellcode
In computer security, a shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability. It is called "shellcode" because it typically starts a command shell
from which the attacker can control the compromised machine, but any
piece of code that performs a similar task can be called shellcode.
Because the function of a payload is not limited to merely spawning a
shell, some have suggested that the name shellcode is insufficient. However, attempts at replacing the term have not gained wide acceptance. Shellcode is commonly written in machine code.
