Top Programming Languages Learned By Hackers

There are numerous computer languages, same applies to hacking, there are different programming languages that hackers usually learn for the purpose of hacking and it also depends upon the target. They are divided into three parts:
  1. Web Hacking
  2. Exploit Writing
  3. Reverse Engineering

#1 Web Hacking

When the hacker has the intention to hack websites and applications, he/she learns the web coding like HTML, CSS, and Javascript as the majority of websites are built by using these languages. It allows a hacker to get a firm hold on the coding of the website or application.
HTML
HTML
HTML
It is a markup language used widely for describing web pages. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. By learning HTML, a hacker is able to understand web actions, response etc.
Javascript
Javascript
Javascript
It is the programming language of HTML and the Web. It is used widely in websites for a preferable interface and quick response. By learning Javascript, a hacker can understand the client-side mechanism which is necessary for finding client-side flaws.
PHP
PHP
PHP
It is a server-side scripting language used in web development and is also used as a general-purpose programming language. It manages web apps and database. It almost controls everything on site and server.
SQL
SQL
SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language is a special-purpose programming language used for managing data held in a relational database management system [RDBMS]. It is behind for managing sensitive information like user credentials, bank details, user details etc. To steal the sensitive details, hackers eyes to attack SQL of a website.

#2 Exploit Writing

Python
Python
Python
It is widely used for general purpose and high-level programming language. Hacker should know Python as it is responsible for creating exploits and tools. Its design philosophy stresses code readability.
Ruby
Ruby
Ruby
It is a dynamic, reflective, object-oriented and general purpose programming language. It is used for various purposes but it is generally used for Web Applications as Ruby on Rails framework.
Perl
Perl
Perl
It is a family of high-level, general-purpose, dynamic programming language. It is used for exploit writing. With Perl, a hacker is able to find many exploits if written in PERL. However, it is very complicated language and it was earlier called as duct tape of Internet.
Reverse engineering
Reverse engineering
Reverse engineering
It is also called back engineering. It is the procedure of extracting information from anything and then reproducing it by using the extracted information. It can be also used to crack software and media in order to dismiss their copy protection.

Momo suicide game

Microsoft clamps down on sick 'Momo suicide game' in 'Minecraft' Microsoft is clamping down on the sick “Momo suicide challenge,” which recently infiltrated the wildly popular online game “Minecraft.”The tech giant owns “Minecraft” developer Mojang. The vile “Momo suicide game” has been garnering attention after spreading on WhatsApp, prompting police warnings. "Momo" is a viral challenge that asks people to add a contact via WhatsApp - they are then   urged   to commit self-harm or suicide. The "game" has fueled comparisons to the sinister " Blue Whale challenge " that led to reports of suicides in Russia and the U.S, as well as the online fictional character of "Slender Man." In 2014 two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin  attempted to kill   a classmate in an attempt to please the horror character. The Buenos Aires Times recently  reported  that police in Argentina are investigating whether “Momo” is linked to the suicide of a 12-y...

Java Functional Interfaces

  The term   Java functional interface   was introduced in Java 8. A   functional interface   in Java is an interface that contains only a single abstract (unimplemented) method. A functional interface can contain default and static methods which do have an implementation, in addition to the single unimplemented method. Here is a Java functional interface example: public interface MyFunctionalInterface { public void execute(); } The above counts as a functional interface in Java because it only contains a single method, and that method has no implementation. Normally a Java interface does not contain implementations of the methods it declares, but it can contain implementations in default methods, or in static methods. Below is another example of a Java functional interface, with implementations of some of the methods: public interface MyFunctionalInterface2{ public void execute(); public default void print(String text) { System.out.println(t...
