shellcode -> asm?

["Sean Zadig" <seanzadig () hotmail com>]

Hi,
I'm doing some research into creating variants of common attacks, but I ran 
into a problem of sorts. For most of the attacks I have, the shellcode 
consists of the overflow and the actual malicious code that is run. I want 
to be able to isolate the overflow from the rest of the shellcode and use 
that to create attack variants. Problem is, I don't know where one ends and 
the other begins! I figure if I turn the hex-encoded shellcode back into 
assembly code, I could probably figure it out. I'm familiar with how to do 
the reverse in gdb, but is it possible to do what I want? To restate: 
shellcode -> asm is what I need. If this is a simple thing, my apologies - 
but the security-basics list rejected my post =)
