Can programming be used to be a white hat hacker (white hat=good) (black hat =bad) if so how?

Question

white hat hackers break into systems to check for vulnerablies. not steal info

Answer 1

yes, infact you NEED to know programming as a basic.
but also... you need to know a lot of lower level programming languages like Basic, C, C++
you'll need to have really strong skills in reading a ton of code really fast and know exactly what to do with it.
White-hat and Black-hat hacking seems like it has to do over a network (Even a virus spreading would be over a network)
That means you'll need to know A LOT about networking and how it works.

Security in this world is not a joke. If you think you can just become a good hacker, guess what... everyday they "Level up" their security system in detecting a hack, fighting against abnormal behaviour, hacking back etc.

Enjoy ;)
