Hello everyone :)

First, let me give you some very brief background on “Programming Languages.”

Programming languages are the general pieces of code programmers use to express a given algorithm. Programmers can use different, independent programming languages from one another to write their instructions.

Programming languages let the programmer tell computers what data to operate on and how that data should be stored and transmitted, through pieces of code. Today there are more than 2000 programming languages.

Programming Languages You Need to Know for Hacking

To do hacking, you need programming languages and coding knowledge such as C, C++, Python, and JAVA. Of course, learning a programming language alone won’t be enough to do hacking. After doing some research and finding answers to the questions in your head, you’ll reach your goal by following the right roadmap. It’s also worth remembering to be patient. :)

PYTHON

If you don’t already know a programming language, I’d recommend starting with Python. Python is easy to understand, well documented, and offers ease of use and readability for beginners. It’s also a powerful and flexible language despite being the first one you’ll learn. You can build very large projects with this language.

For more information, you can check out https://www.w3schools.com/python/default.asp.

JAVA

Java is also a good language for learning programming and hacking. Although it’s harder than Python, the code it produces runs faster. It can be a good second language to learn after Python. There are also high-quality, open-source Java interpreters available for learning Java.

For more detailed information, you can check out https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/index.htm, which I’ve also visited myself.

C++ / C

If you’re going to seriously get into programming and hacking, you should learn C, the primary language of UNIX. C++ is closely related to C. If you learn one, learning the other won’t be difficult. However, C and C++ are not beginner-level languages for learning programming. So it will be more useful for you to learn these languages later on.

So where and how do hackers use these languages? The answer is short but striking: anywhere and everywhere (I’m a Turkish commando :)) — yes, I’m not joking, hackers can use this knowledge whenever and wherever they want. Their real goal is to inject viruses into servers and disrupt and poison the normal flow of systems. The better a hacker writes code, the more successful they become.
