title: lua code deobfuscation
body: <p>I've recently downloaded some lua code and what I found inside was some obfuscated string. That made me wonder what sort of obfuscation technique was used there. Does anybody have an idea?</p>
  
  <pre><code>local code='\27\76\117\97\81\0\1\4\4\4\8\0\64\0\0\0\64\67\58\92\85\115\101\114\115\92\65\108\101\120\92\68\101\115\107\116\111\112'
  loadstring(code)()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT: Some more (encrypted?) code.</p>
