The third task was: Build an eggHunter-shellcode and a PoC to check functionality. After some googling i found a very interesting paper, which explains eggHunting in general and shows 6 implementations (3x Linux/ 3x Windows).

To check the functionality of my eggHunter, i wrote a little c-programm, which copies some shellcode into memory. First the shellcode for my payload and two EGGs are copied into memory. After that the eggHunter-shellcode is loaded and executed.
I this case i use a simple helloWordPayload:
