Why do allot of computer security people / hackers do most of there coding in python and perl or ruby?
why dont they use java or C C# C++ vb or anything like that?
i know they call python a powerfull scripting/programing language but so is C is it not?
im choosing to learn python as im watching the cbt nuggets video "python programing language" as my first language and then im taking on perl. I use backtrack allot and can do quite a bit of things with it. I just think programing would take me to a hole new level. I want to learn how to program buffer overflows and make my own exploits with immunity debugger. Im taking computer security this coming Sept and want to prep myself for whats coming up. So i guess my main question is just wondered why python and perl?
is it because u have to compile c and java and that takes time? the code is more complex and longer to write?
let me know thanks in advance
