Do you meqan can you write a program in byte codes? In theory, Yes.

> Is there a tool for that !

No.  You would need to use a tool that lets you write bytes to a file 
like Norton Disk Editor or some such.

> Would this be a security hole ?

No. The java interpreter checks the bytes codes to make sure they 
don't violate security.  If you write security violating byte codes 
the interpreter won't run them.
