 python - the hackers language.
January 25, 2009, 01:40:14 AM

I have heard it a couple of time that python is called a hackers language.
I have checked some of the features of python specially those not related to object oriented programming and they seem to me more closer to the real life then other data structures used in various other languages.
It must be really time saving and easy to use them.

Define hackers - it has a number of meanings, you may find it is being used in reference to (open source) programmers in general

hacking is a broad term, if u want to become a professional ethical hacker, there is no problem in that. You certainly require to understand Assembly language only and then you must know about how networking works. Nothing else. ================== New Homes | Cheap Flights

As someone whos only significant experience is in PHP and Python, I hope I can be of some help. I started with PHP when was 13 or so. When I was about 18, I discovered Python, and haven't looked back since. PHP is designed primarily as a web language. As such, it's pretty simple to get it up and running which is great for new web developers. The language itself, however, is pretty bad and programming concepts beyond syntax are better left to other languages. That said, I learned a lot with PHP and I think that dealing with it's idiosyncrasies and pitfalls has made me a better programmer overall. Python, OTOH, is a general-purpose language that has recently gained popularity as a web language. It has greater applicability, but it's a little more difficult to get up and running on a web server. It's great for a new programmer, but not necessarily a new web developer. Since you already have a bunch of experience developing web apps, this is probably a non-issue. We can debate advantages and disadvantages of the two languages all day. In the end, everyone is different and everyone has their own preferred language. Obviously, my language of choice is Python, Paul Graham is a LISPer, and I know someone who swears by PHP, even though he's used Python and Ruby/Rails. It doesn't matter. I say go ahead and give Python a shot. The worst that will happen is that you've added another tool to your toolbox. ================ Link Building| Link Building Services

In the end, everyone is different and everyone has their own preferred language. I agree to this. I have never worked on python and didn't' even knew that it is used for hacking purpose. Also PHP is not my preferred language to code websites. I know PHP is opensource, therefore we don't have to pay any organisation for getting licence to use it. I make lot of manual modification in this forum's code [which is in PHP]. Classic ASP 3.0 was my preferred language for coding websites few months back. I have worked a lot in this language. But recently I have started learning .Net and I am going to set it as my preferred language.

the easiest and strongest programming language is python! i think the best hackers are using it. . .
u can find good tutorials on youtube. . . there is a channel called thenewboston's they have good tutorials or u could just type (python programming tutorial 1) then watch 2,3,4,5 etc
or go to www. python. org then go to documentation then beginners guide

I'm fairly sure asking how to become a Hacker on Yahoo! Answers isn't a generally recognised way to actually become one.
But basically, you read. You read a lot, you learn a lot. Pick up a programming language - I'd suggest starting with python or ruby, but sooner or later you're going to need to know lower-level languages like C or C++.
Learn about your computer, figure out how every little part works. As part of this, I'd strongly suggest switching from Windows to Linux or a BSD or, heck, even OSX. All operating systems that expose much more of their inner workings to anybody curious enough to want to know about them.

I tally checkered whatsoever of the features of python specially those not affinal to entity minded planning and they seem to me much reliever to the actual life then new aggregation structures old in varied separate languages.

I totally agree with maha22's concept! You can't say that any particular language is used to do a function. Learn everything (atleast the possible ones) and choose the best.
As admin said, there are different languages doing the same function but each one has a different advantage. u may choose any one of them.
like maha22 said, use LINUX instead of using Windows to know the inner functions and basics and that will surely make u a computer expert, or even a hacker.....LOL

There are more and more sec/hack tools that are created using python nowadays. For example, flowgrep, scapy and etc. Instead of perfomance issue, python seems to be one of the greatest scripting language ever to write sec/hack tools. Modular design and object oriented make it shiny and yet powerful, clean implmentation, less code liners and human readable make it a perfect language even in debugging level.
