Off topic, but I wanted to clear up a misunderstanding you seem to have. An ELF binary contains machine code. "Shell code", in the sense that I think you're using it, is specific machine code that spawns a Unix shell process, as used in exploits. (Its other meaning is code that is interpreted by a shell, but I don't think you meant that.)
