hacking is very general.
for cybersecurity you should know about SQL, PHP and JavaScript (optionally).
If interested on 'malware analysis' as many named it (cracking auth, reverse engineering executables, breaking encryptions eg: find and deofuscate AES key from a executable), it depends on the language the application created. For applications create in C# you just have to know only C#, for C/C++ you should know C/C++ but also need at least a basic knowledge with assembly in many cases
