Re: [Full-Disclosure] On Polymorphic Evasion

Does the fixed-length nature of RISC instructions make detecting a
shellcode on a platform such as PPC via IDS easier ? Or does the larger
availability of pseudo-NOP instructions on these platforms (owing
chiefly to more combinations of registers being available) in fact make
it harder ?

I wrote some shellcode for OS X once, basically as an exercise, and I
caught myself wondering about this.
