Wait, can shellcode really be that small? Sounds sketchy.

800 bytes? No way, that's way too big!

80 bytes seems way too much for shellcode.

I’m confused; I thought shellcode could be as small as 8 bytes, but I also remember something about 24 bytes being a common minimum.

I remember practicing with shellcode examples, and I feel like 8 bytes might be too small for anything functional.

I’m leaning towards 80 bytes since I recall some shellcodes being that size in our exercises.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different package management commands and which one would be best for searching for a specific file.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to re-read the question and compare the images closely.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Prioritizing stones? That's not something I'm super familiar with in an agile context. I'll have to think about the core agile principles and see if I can make any connections.
