Importance of Programming in cyber security
Many people enter in this domain of cyber security thinking it as an escape to programming or coding. But my friend let me tell you when you start writing your own exploits you may be required to know some programming or to find any loophole in the code of a system you need to have some knowledge on Programming.
Why should on learn how to do programming?
- Security specialist people are the one who solves problem and build tool, so if you know to program it will help you in implementing solutions to problems. Also it differentiates you from script kiddies.
- Writing programs as an attacker will help you to automate many tasks that can save lots of time to complete.
- Programming will also help you to identify and exploit programming errors in applications.
- Programming gives you ability to customize the already existing exploits according to your needs.
Languages one should learn
- Python
- C
- SQL
- JavaScript
- Bash Scripting
- Ruby/Perl
If you want to become a professional, ethical hacker, you shouldn’t limit yourself to programming languages.
Ethical Hacking is more of an art than a course.
You need to have a good understanding of computer technology from networking, databases, etc. That is because different systems require different attack vectors and exploits.
We will cover some of the programming languages(at least required) in coming posts.
