• → The shellcode payload contains the ASCII string 'Stop sniffing our network!!' — scan captured 802.11 frames for this string as a high-confidence exploit indicator. ↗
• → Exploit uses the lorcon packet injection library (tx80211_*) for transmission; presence of lorcon-linked binaries or the compiled exploit binary 'airodump-remote' on a host may indicate attacker tooling. ↗

• · Shellcode is limited to a maximum of 792 bytes within the NOP sled region; larger shellcode will overwrite critical overflow offsets and break exploitation. ↗
