In this article, we're going to examine the JVM bytecode set, disassemble some code to see how it works, and play with some tools that allow us to manipulate bytecode directly.

A developer claims that Java 7's new bytecode verifier slows performance and increases coding effort, potentially affecting the entire Java ecosystem.

For example, in the Java programming language and environment, a just-in-time (JIT) compiler turns Java bytecode -- a program that contains instructions that must be interpreted -- into instructions ...

Computers don't understand English or even programming languages. What's needed is translation software, and it comes in different forms: compilers, interpreters and bytecode.

By injecting malicious bytecode into interpreters for VBScript, Python, and Lua, researchers found they can circumvent malicious code detection.
