# Shellcode Title: Windows/x86 - Locate kernel32 base address / Stack Crack method NullFree Shellcode (171 bytes)
# Description:
# This shellcode is a new method to find kernel32 base address by walking down the stack and look for a possible Kernel32 address using custom SEH handler.
# Each address found on the stack will be tested using the Exception handling function. If it's valid and starts with 7, then it's a possible kernel32 address.
# Date: 2/5/2022
# Shellcode Author: Tarek Ahmed
# Tested on: Microsoft Windows 7, and 10
