string attacks. Typically, an egg written in assembly and designed to
enable remote access or escalate privileges from an ordinary user account
to administrator level when it hatches. Also known as <span class="firstterm">shellcode</span>. </p><p>The name comes from a particular buffer-overflow exploit that was
co-written by a cracker named eggplant. The variable name
&#8216;egg&#8217; was used to store the payload. The usage
spread from people who saw and analyzed the code.
