Can Zend Intermediate Code files be de-coded back into the PHP source file?
Obfuscation like encryption can only be decoded using brut-force techniques. Such techniques typically require vast amounts of time and resources to decode obfuscated strings. Furthermore, the longer the obfuscated string is the less realistic it is to decode these strings as the number of possible combinations increases exponentially. Therefore, it is not feasible that Obfuscated files will not be successfully de-coded.
