Ascii Hex codes

[howartp]

Hi.

 

I believe the following says hex/ascii/something says "/Utilities.php"

 

\57\125\x74\151\154\x69\x74\151\x65\x73\x2e\160\150\160

 

I know the 'x' numbers are hex and I can convert them (to get the "tites." characters of the filename) but I don't know what the pure numbers are?

 

"\160\150\160" is "php" - but in what number/conversion system?

 

(I know you will ask - this is a wordpress plugin I've purchased which was previously in plain text, and I debugged a few bugs and sent them in for them to include and release which they were grateful for - but the latest versions are now obfuscated and I've still one big problem with the code I'm trying to track down. The PHP code still compiles; the function names etc are still in english but the contents of the variable strings and compares are obfuscated)

Aha - it's octal!

 

Didn't realise you could code ascii in octal.
