Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 109

In Linux, what is the smallest possible shellcode?

Answer options

• A. 24 bytes
• B. 8 bytes
• C. 800 bytes
• D. 80 bytes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The smallest possible shellcode in Linux is indeed 24 bytes, as it is designed to perform essential functions while remaining compact. The other options, such as 8 bytes, 800 bytes, and 80 bytes, do not accurately reflect the minimal size required for functional shellcode in this context.
