The best languages for hacking.
| I think python is pretty good, and bash for other scripting as well as assembly for understanding how programs work and reverse engineering
| English

| Hacking in the sense of hacking something together, yes python is great because it's quick to cobble something that'll work.
| Usually if you have to ask you aren't at the stage where you could. Learn regular programming first then networking and go from there.
| Russian
| Define 'hacking'.
| >>241920 I'm particularly interested in reverse engineering (getting source code from machine code) and hex editing, for example for game hacking.
I don't really know if I want to learn network hacking or other stuff right now, but that would be interesting anyway.
| >>241920
Getting at least partly access to or control over a (computer) system in a way that you're not supposed to have it.
| >>242218 Producing source code from machine code will never be achieved like people think it will. Because the process of compilation uses many changes and optimisations and shortcuts to produce the final machine code, which is a process that has information loss in itself and is not reversible. The closest to what you want would be to learn assembly language. It is close to machine hw architecture reflecting its design, leaving behind all abstraction layers of everything else.
| >>242438 then you want to learn about producing/modifying drivers for hardware, replacing filesystem modules with your own, write daemon processes which in turn spawn the normal daemon processes needed for the computer to function, and also how to use object oriented made software to bump into an error condition, and throw an exception of *your* choosing which is not necessarily what the software is supposed to do, potentially bringing further havoc in the upper layers.
| >>242631 *cough* don't think your own computer fits this...
> access to or control over a (computer) system in a way that you're not supposed to have it.
| Unless your specifically attacking something locked down like a console

Any computer does. They obviously want to learn this so what better way than to do it on your own machine.
| Python java html and you have to know how to use console cmd.If you want to be perfect do it on Linux os.
| ITT we pretend we know what we are talking about
| >>243312 fair but the comment I was replying to is fairly close (might be word for word) of the law so I was just playing along :p
| Linux user here, Cyber Security. Message me @ (310)507-7659 if you want real information.
>6ixD4
| Also I love how you started your qualifications with "Linux user"
| >>244606 Must be a true master in the art of producing a new CV (they call it 'resume' though in Oddland) exactly as the job opening wants your skills to be.
| >>342e15 download kali linux and watch hack5.
Also yeah python is commonly used since it's script that can directly talk with c/c++ libraries, it's very versatile.
Be aware that most on machine hacking happens in assembly, and most distance hacking happens over ethernet/gsm, so it's not just as easy as learning python.
| >>4f9086 oh for that get x64dbg and learn x86 assembly.
As far as reverse engineering software goes you never get above that.
| You don't even need to learn python if you want to learn some life haxx.

^ the only replies worth a damn here. This thread is shit tbh. Disregard everything else, especially retards talking about cmd, jesus christ.
You first want to learn about hacker culture (difference between a cracker and hacker, the two meanings of Hacker, watch Revolution OS, etc.). Then you get yourself an operating system that let's you be free in your hacker ways: GNU/Linux, {Free,Open,Net}BSD or similar. Then you can go ahead and learn a language.
| Sooqa blyad,Russian is de best language for hackers
| >>247966 OP here. I already know all those things lol Honestly that's super basic to even mention it.
I think I'll be using Python. In the end it seems like the best option for various reasons.
Also, I have coded in C, assembler and Python before. I just wanted to know if there were other good/better languages for hacking.
| >>243671
>linuxOS
Kill me now i can't take it want to end it all
Btw do you guys consider bash as a language it isn't a language but you can do almost anything with it

| >>249479
Dont be so harsh he probably didn't know
What do you want from him to address every linux distribution.

| I got a book about hacking with Python, but I wonder if it is actually the best language to use, maybe it is alright for beginners like me but I still want to know your opinions, g/u/rls.
