Why Programming For Hacking ???

Learn a programming language. You
shouldn't limit yourself to any particular
language, but there are a few guidelines.
C is the language the Unix was built with. It
(along with assembly language) teaches
something that's very important in hacking:
how memory works.
Python or Ruby are high-level, powerful
scripting languages that can be used to
automate various tasks.
Perl is a reasonable choice in this field as
well, while PHP is worth learning because the
majority of web applications use PHP.
Bash scripting is a must. That is how to
easily manipulate Unix/Linux systems—
writing scripts, which will do most of the job
for you.
Assembly language is a must-know. It is the
basic language that your processor
understands, and there are multiple
variations of it. At the end of the day, all
programs are eventually interpreted as
assembly. You can't truly exploit a program
if you don't know assembly.
