* UTF-8 codecs are used for reading files, encoding and decoding operations.
  The correct codecs to use should be Latin-1. Reason being that UTF-8 does not
  include 0xFE and 0xFF.
  .
  This poses a significant issue that goes unnoticed during testing, but affects
  core functionality. Since raw shellcode, which is essentially read from a
  file, may contain those characters, subsequent encoding/decoding is going
  to be incorrect, thus affecting the final payload which breaks at runtime.
