compile generates usable x86 shellcode from a programming language with python-style syntax, using yet another messy python script.

screenshot

the shellcode generated by the script meets some requirements:

• contains no null bytes
• contains no hardcoded memory addresses
• is as small and optimized as possible

./compile.sh <file>

run the above command, and it will output the x86 shellcode in \xff\x... format.

the standard file extension for this language is .sl (-> simple/shellcoding language).

i put a few example sl scripts in the examples/ directory

feel free to make a pr, but i won't be actively developing the project anymore or fixing bugs

i haven't written any docs, but really quickly, here are the constants:

stdin = 0
stdout = 1
stderr = 2
o_rdonly = 0b0
o_creat = 0b100
o_trunc = 0b1000

if you want documentation for the default syscalls/functions, in the compile.py file, ctrl+f for syscalls = {.

• i wrote this entire thing during a few periods of my computer science class when i was a hs sophomore (2017-18)
• i've updated this script a lot and added a ton of new features, but will not be releasing the newer version
• i had only learned python a few months before writing this script, that's why it's so messy (and because i was not planning on releasing it)
