The extension ".oct" is related to various software products:
- Optical coherence tomography file (medical software product)
- RADIANCE Octree Format file (ray-tracing software system for UNIX)
- Octave dynamically loadable cobject file (Octave)
- Octopus/Octoplus phone firmware file (http://octoplusbox.com/en/download/software/)
- Octalizer file (Amiga 500 music editing software)
- ...

Beside this, if you want to view the files content you could use "hexdump" created by Dave:

It would help to know where you downloaded the file from (or why).
