Best Programing Language for Ethical Hacking

 

Best Programming Languages for Hacking

 

1. Python

    It’s no surprise that Python tops our list. Referred to as the defacto hacking programing language, Python has indeed played a significant role in the writing of hacking scripts, exploits, and malicious programs.

2. C

    C is critical language in the Hacking community. Most of the popular operating systems we have today run on a foundation of C language.

    C is an excellent resource in reverse engineering of software and applications. These enable hackers to understand the working of a system or an app.

3. Javascript

    For quite some time, Javascript(JS) was a client-side scripting language. With the release of Node.js, Javascript now supports backend development. To hackers, this means a broader field of exploitation.

If you are into web hacking, then getting your hands on PHP would be of great advantage.

5. C++ 

    Have you ever thought of cracking corporate(paid) software? Here is your answer. The hacker community has significantly implemented C++ programming language to remove trial periods on paid software and even the operating system.

6. SQL

    SQL – Standard Query Language. It is a programming language used to organize, add, retrieve, remove, or edit data in a database. A lot of systems store their data in databases such as MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL.

    Using SQL, hackers can perform an attack known as SQL injection, which will enable them to access confidential information.

7. Java

    Despite what many may say, a lot of backdoor exploits in systems are written in Java. It has also been used by hackers to perform identity thefts, create botnets, and even perform malicious activities on the client system undetected.
