Good language for hackers? - sethwilliam - 11-20-2012

I took a python course and was half way through it when I had to drop out and now I'm into hacking and was wondering what programming language hackers use (or is best) for doing hacking stuff like writing rats, key loggers, and malware. Thanks and srry if there's anything wrong with my question ima noob :p

does not really matter also long as you know the language very well.

Personally, I prefer VB but, thats only because I have 6 years of practice in it.

Don't take .net!! Too many dependencies! Take Delphi. It's one of the most used blackhat malware writting language.

Python is a really good starting language too. :3

Well, every language has its pros and cons. Python is widely used for writing PoC as it is crossplatform. However, you can't write good malware with it Biggrin

Java is popular for crossplatform malware. But you can't do really targeted malware.

C is probably the most popular as it is a good compromise between targeting, speed and complexity.
ASM is popular for highly targeted malware (Stuxnet-like stuff)

It all depends on what you want to accomplish Smile

Where did you take that from? O.o

Stuxnet - ASM/C
SpyEye - ASM
Zeus - ASM
StealthBanker - ASM/C

You have Cybergate from Delphi family, but Delphi is far from being the most used.

One of .Net biggest restrictions is you cannot make it an admin tool in the code. After making the tool just go to the application. Right click properties and you can set it to run as admin. Most common PC users don't realize its easy to stop a program from running as admin.

Lots of rats and keyloggers are coded in Delphi. If you ask a blackhat, he would say Delphi. But it's a pretty new programming language in the scene, so there aren't many well-known riskwares. Tongue
