What is the most powerful promming language used by hackers?
C/C++? Assembly? Java? VB? ............etc....
Assembly...definitely...followed by C
Why do you say Assembly?
Well im no expert programer nor a hacker..... but id have to say you dont REALLY need assembly too much but C/C++ is very good to know. :)
Why would you say i don't really need assembly lang but c/c++ is good to know. Could you kindly please explain it to me? Some my friends says that C/C++ and Assembly are good combinations.
Assembly is the nearest language to binary (a.k.a. base machine language composed of only 1's and 0's).
You'll need ASM if you do need to create and understand buffer overflows, in reverse engineering etc.
C/C++ are also good languages whose coding is easier than ASM.
But there's no such rule, that "hackerz shall know ASM", but if they do, than that's a positive marker...
:hiphop: :smokes:
Scripting languages. (Perl etc) talk to an interpreter.
C talks to the Operating system.
Assembly talks to the hardware.
Ask yourself "Where do we want to go today?"
:cool:
Talking about Programming languages, anybody ever work (or heard of) Turing?
is turing a language?
i've heard of turing machines, they're the first real machines w/memory. a lot of the logic used in them is used in building compilers for languages (c++,java, you name it)....
you can read about it at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/turing-machine/
Assembly gives you the most control over the machine but c++ and java are more useful.
