Ask a developer what's the ASCII code of "A" and most should be able to tell you 65. The good ones will tell you 0x41. If you ask them they should be able to tell you some more off the top of their head. Space... 32, quote... 34, "a" ... 0x61 (I can never remember the base 10, hex was just easier for this). This isn't the coding equivalent of silly or pointless information like knowing all the Vice Presidents. Most developers have learned various ASCII codes over the course of their careers.I learned a lot of ASCII codes about 15 years ago while writing QBASIC apps when I needed to do things like PRINT "You entered " + CHR$(34) + $val + CHR$(34).

The same is true for web security professionals with URL encoded characters. Funny enough these are normally ASCII hex values but the characters you use so much that you memorize in web security are different than developers.The ones I have used so much I know by heart at %3c %3e %2f and %2e.

%3c = <

%3e = >

%2f = /

%2e = .

What URL encoded characters have you used so often that you know off the top of your head?
