Linux/x86 - read(0,buf,2541) + chmod(buf,4755) Shellcode (23 bytes)

/* readnchmod-core.c by Charles Stevenson <core@bokeoa.com> 
 *
 * Example of strace output if you pass in "/bin/sh\x00"
 * read(0, "/bin/sh\0", 2541)              = 8
 * chmod("/bin/sh", 04755)                 = 0
 *
 * Any file path can be given.  For example: /tmp/.sneakyguy
 * The only caveat is that the string must be NULL terminated.
 * This shouldn't be a problem.  For multi-stage payloads send
 * in this first and then you can send it data with null bytes.
 * I made this for rare cases with tight space contraints and
 * where read() jmp *%esp is not practical.
