What programming language should I learn for hacking? - Dusteh - Jan 21, 2014

Hey everyone, what programming language should I learn to code programs such as RATs and any other hacking tools, and what are the pros and cons of that programming language, many thanks.

Any language works just fine for viruses.
Given they all have their pros and cons.
The most common is C/C+ and C++.

Most of the RAT's I have (source) use a combo of C++, VB, and PHP.
But RAT's are big projects OP start small...

I made the same question time ago, i have been answered that python is a good language to start.
Consider that all language have similar bases and control structures.

Python is my main lang and was also my first.
I would definitely recommend it for a beginner.
However since windows dose not come with the
Python interpreter so you could only spread to
computers who have had it installed.
Most Linux distros come with is and
I believe mac.
