Python is the language of choice for hackers
Programming knowledge is a must for anyone wanting to be a hacker – this is a no brainer. However, what is so special about Python that is has become the programming language of choice for so many hackers ?Reasons
Hacking,in the terms we use it means searching for and exploiting system vulnerabilities. System hacking requires a deep technical knowledge, knowledge of methodical testing and a creative application of said knowledge. These work significantly in Python’s favor. Python being a high level language, ignores matters that lower level languages will deal with, allowing one to streamline his attention.
Python has a very simple structure and is a strong scripting language. A simple example of this can be seen when you write the most basic of all programs – a hello world program. Below is a comparison between that program written in Java and Python.
This is how it looks in Java:
Java is the language preferred by the masses because literally anything can be developed with it – from desktop applications to websites. Python too, doubles up as a scripting and a general purpose programming language. Add to that the simplicity that we’re just seen, is it any wonder that Python gets favored so much ?public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(“Hello, World”);
}
}
This is how it look in Python :
print “Hello World!”
Another aspect that tilts the scales in Python’s favor, is the amount of libraries. When considered specifically towards hacking, Python has such a vast number of libraries that you probably get your work done just by using them. In the off chance that you hit a wall, Python also has a huge developer community for you to help from. Granted, one would be advised not to spread the word of your hacking intentions, but the benefit of a dedicated community cannot be emphasized enough.
All in all,
if you are a person with the ambitions of being a hacker one day, start learning Python.
