Which Programming languages are best for hacking?

Question

If I want to learn ethical hacking which books and languages have to learn first?

Answer 1

JavaScript and Python are what come in mind for me. JavaScript since webdevs usually have flaws in their security programming. And Python for penetration.

Answer 2

I recommend using C++ (for .exe viruses and payloads) and Java (for its platform independence). The .exe virus will destroy a PC, and Java could also be a valuable asset. However, with Java, executing it on a different system, as far as I understand, could be a 50-50 shot since the target might not be running the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). JavaScript is also important, as it is a necessity for XSS attacks.
