# Egg Hunting
|
|
|
|
Egg Hunting can be applied if only a few chars are possible to use as shellcode.
|
|
A tag or egg is an already identified group of bytes in the binary the egg hunter
|
|
is trying to find.

|
## Accessing Virtual Address Space
|
|
|
|
Like [shakuganz](https://shakuganz.com/2021/07/14/hackthebox-hunting-write-up/) wrote about, ccessing unallocated memory can be done in the following way
|
|
```python
|
|
mem_addr = 0x5FFFFFFF
|
|
|
|
if access(mem_addr, 0) == 0x2f:
|
|
jump_to_next_page()
|
|
elif value_at(mem_addr) != egg:
|
|
mem_addr += 1
|
|
else:
|
|
print(mem_addr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
