Re: Compiled PHP

I think that he uses "bytecode" wrongly. C is not generating a bytecode but asm instead, then translated to machine code. Bytecode is another thing. Java is bytecoded. IMO that the question is : "Is there any tool which generates machine code as the C compiler does? " AFAIK the encoder first optimizes somehow the code and then encode it to make a bruteforce attack harder to do.
