Ultra simple Assembly instruction grepper rolling byte-by-byte within target's .text section - to be used while looking for trampoline address for ROP/Exploit

findInstr.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# Simple script for finding specific instructions within target's .text section
# even inside other ones (rolling byte-by-byte), like to be used during ROP
# building in Exploit development.
#
# Written as I was out of internet and needed such utility on a vanilla plain
# linux where all I had was binutils. :)
# Yup, it's not perfect, but allowed me to find JMP ESP in a blink of an eye.
