Ok, I've looked in this tutorial and it was talking a lot about shell code. It looked like hexdecimal to me. But when I looked up on wikipedia it said that it was assembly? I don't know, but this is part of what the tutorial showed:<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->\x55\x89\xe5\x57\x56\x53\xe8\x00\x00\x00\x00\x5b\x83\xc3\xf5\<br />x8d\xb3\x50\x00\x00\x00\xfc\x8d\x7d\xd8\xb9\x03\x00\x00\x00\xf3\xa5\<br />x66\xa5\x83\xe4\xf0\xbf\x01\x00\x00\x00\x8d\x4d\xd8\xba\x0e\x00\x00\<br />x00\xb8\x04\x00\x00\x00\x53\x89\xfb\xcd\x80\x5b\x89\xf8\x53\xbb\x00\<br />x00\x00\x00\xcd\x80\x5b\x8d\x65\xf4\x5b\x5e\x5f\xc9\xc3\x48\x65\x6c\<br />x6c\x6f\x20\x77\x6f\x72\x6c\x64\x21\x0a\x00<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />I know this is not assembly but what is it? Hex?
</div>
