Where it comes from
First attested in 1611; borrowed from French omelette, see which for further etymology.
noun omelettes · omelet · omlet · omlette
- A dish made with beaten eggs cooked in a frying pan without stirring, flipped over to cook on both sides, and sometimes filled or topped with other foodstuffs, for example cheese or chives. He crossed to the window, which looked on to a herb garden, and seated himself on the chintz-covered window-seat and delicately watched the two, who were engaged in eating omelette and salad at a round table near the fire-place.
- A form of shellcode that searches the address space for multiple small blocks of data ("eggs") and recombines them into a larger block to be executed. This approach would be altered for an optimal omelette based exploit. One would spray the heap with the omelette code solely, then load a single copy of the additional shellcode eggs into memory outside the target region for the spray.
verb omelettes · omeletting · omeletted · omelet · omlet
- To make into an omelette. This recipe may be adapted for scrambled eggs, i.e., instead of omeletting the eggs, simply scramble them.
