Hadrien Barral: Emoji Shellcoding

Duration: 43min 28sec Type: Presentation (lecture) Playlist: 131 of 146 in Defcon
A DEF CON 30 talk about an unusual approach to writing shellcode — using only emojis. The speaker introduces the basics of shellcoding and shows how restrictions on allowed characters can become an engineering challenge.

The talk explores a new method for writing shellcode under strict constraints and demonstrates how ordinary emojis can be transformed into fully functional exploits.
