We all know about Hex Opcodes, but imagine Octal Opcodes, that would be crazy.

Write your app using Octal opcodes, it would be harder to crack.

octal, hex, dec, binary are just different bases to represent the _same_ numbers.

even if for some odd reason you were given the opcodes in octal format, you could still put it back in hex notation.

I don't understand your comment.

True, true.

I'll pass this on to the IDA Pro staff. When they find out that they can simply switch from hex to octal, no-one will be able to crack their software. Pure genius!
