Which Programming is Good for Malware programming? - hack3rcon - Dec 22, 2015

Hello.
Which programming language is good for Malware programming? I know compilers like C\C++ are good but Can Modern Malwares like Stuxnet or Flame written in these languages or Malware programmers use Multi languages?
Thank you.

I mean, you don't really have a specific limitation. C/C++/C#/Assembly/Java/etc can all be used for malware. It's a matter of how well they execute across computers.

Thank you but which one is better and easier for this job?

That doesn't matter right now. Read up on tutorials and you will figure out what will be best for you.

There is no better language. Learn to program properly first and you'll naturally evolve and learn how to make the malware of your dreams.

Any language can be used to make malware, when people program malware they identify a platform which they are targeting and then they select a language.

Here is a guide:

If you want cross platform (build once run anywhere), use these, in order:
Java
C#

If you want to target a specific OS, ex Windows or Linux use:
C++
C
Asm

I recommend C++ for malware.
