    Is there any situation where you’d want to remember the opcodes? Disassemblers should give you user-friendly assembly code, without any need to look at the raw numbers. Maybe it’s useful to remember which instructions are pseudo instructions (so you know stuff like jz (jump if zero) being the same as je (jump if equal) making it easier to understand the disassembly), but I don’t think you need to remember the opcode numbers for that.

    Edit: Maybe with malware analysis where the malware in question may be obfuscated in interesting ways to make the job of binary analysis harder?



  • Not all poisonings occur because of assassination attempts. (in fact I imagine it to be a very tiny minority of poisoning cases) Someone can be poisoned by picking the wrong mushroom, thinking it to be a different edible one, or by eating the delicious looking tide pods or by drinking a cup of the methanol-rich alcoholic beverage your friend made (or by drinking too much alcohol in general).
