Top 3 Programming Languages for Cybersecurity in 2023

[@CubensisEnjoyer]

Learning C++ first set me up very nicely. Haven’t really used it but I can understand pretty much any code and picking up Python (which I failed on my own when I first got into CompSci) has been effortless. When my C++ professor said he was an Ethical Hacker I didn’t even know what that was, now many years later I’m deep into all things cybersecurity because of him.

[@wiz9203]

Am also in phase of learning cyber security,Can u plz suggest me which language I have to focus and plz mention any useful courses.plzzzzzzz

[@omarsamy122]

​@@wiz9203i need to know which language

[@pataleno]

I work in Cybersecurity. I did my higher diploma in Software engineering back in 90's but never coded again. I went into networking security etc. I'm now looking at getting back to what I studied many years ago.

[@AUBCodeII]

John Hammond said in an interview that "if you don't know programming, you can walk. But If you know coding, you can fly."

[@AUBCodeII]

@LemineAbdenne for me they're synonyms. I said that you can work in the field if you can't code, but you'll be very limited. If you can code you'll be able to read and code your own exploits, and that's more desirable for a cybersecurity professional

[@ITsecurityEng]

I just jumped up and started doing push ups when I read this it hyped me up

[@hackvlix]

aaaaand now let's start arguing about which language should be number 3!

[@reinmarvonzweter666]

COBOL, for sure!

[@AdrianMarszaek]

Speaking from my own experience - Python, Rust and Lua for offensive side is pretty much all I need to perform everything worth performing. I used to use C++ but Rust is IMO on another level good. Adding JS and PHP even on a low skill level helps to understand what's going on if you're into webapps (what's never been my bit). I'm super happy that you're introducing Rust course as it's super powerful and will only raise in popularity as it solves similar problems that Golang does, but on top of that offers much much more.

[@mogr488]

Could you please give us examples how you use Lua for ethical hacking ? I'm very interested. Thank you

[@ITsecurityEng]

Powerful post

[@itsksujan]

are JS and PHP really not useful ? i thought being on offsec side one would encounter with web applications a lot.

[@ITSecNEO]

​@@itsksujanActually no, the pentesting area is huge. You can do IoT Pentesting, Web Pentesting, Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis, Active Directory Attacks and so on.. The language of choice really depends on the area you want to specialize in. JS and PHP have no use cases if you are Not doing any web Pentesting.

[@domss3931]

Pretty solid advice imo... I just started to work as a security engineer and my first task is to literally perform code review on a few projects to validate SAST reports generated from automatic tools... Doing code review is pretty intimidating 😪

[@fabricehategekimana5350]

Great advices ! I like Nim, the syntax is as simple as python and it can transpile to C/C++/Javascript and can also compile normally. I love Rust. It's low level (fast) and it's more secure than C/C++

[@believe_it712]

Programming language is just a tool . Using the right tool for the right job is the key.

[@pogo55555]

Great advice. Well delivered. Nice production quality. Thinking of subscribing.

[@ITSecNEO]

CMD Tools: Rust Exploit-Dev & Automation: Python Web Pentest: JS, PHP Windows: Rarely C#, Powershell Linux: Bash IoT, Malware Analysis, Reverse Engineering: C Thats mainly all what is needed. Sometimes you will encounter some Go Code too in Cloud Scenarios

[@devohnmitchell]

I been learning Python consistently for the last 2 years..Learning JS for the last 1.5 years

[@LeoNux-um7tg]

I chose Assembly for knowing how computers work behind the scene while learning programming at the same time.

[@ЭркинДжаббаров-ш2н]

So do i

[@googo34]

I'd really love more videos or other resources on code review.

[@tseeric6051]

Thanks TCM for all the Vedic in YT. I had checked out the link above , All the courses price are really reasonable. As a beginner I had no idea about what each course does (even with course description ) and where to start( do I need Java first or do I need python, what next after python and what course to go with it) Will you guy be able to make some bundle (even with no discount apply), and be like ….. if you a beginner take bundle A 4 courses , if you want to be or achieve something, take bundle B 6 courses etc….

[@exoticcity3257]

What language is best for security architecture?

[@furkan482]

What do you think about Golang? It is used more in the sector compared to past, right?

[@arg0x-]

Same question

[@TCMSecurityAcademy]

Golang is definitely on the rise and if you see yourself working on or with it then for sure, it's a good idea to invest some time into it. The syntax is pretty readable too so if you already have some experience with JS/Python then you'll pick it up in no time. The stackoverflow developer survey is worth taking a look at if you want to see how popular it is currently vs other languages.

#3 is C/Cpp or Java.

[@omarsamy122]

Java and python enough ?

[@carltravis4620]

More than enough

[@Dheeraj_k18]

My personal pick- Rust ,Go and python

[@VasanthkumarMandava]

Bro for cyber security which programming language is best pz advice me

[@Dheeraj_k18]

@@VasanthkumarMandava it's depend which skill you want to learn in cyber security. For ex if you are interested in malware go for assembly, if you want to learn VAPT ,choose python n go.

[@VasanthkumarMandava]

@@Dheeraj_k18 I'm fresher bro which one best for future your advice

[@christosbinos8467]

What makes you recommend JavaScript as an entire language to study when its utility as presented in the video is cross side scripting? Also, why not suggest at least one low level language? Roughly 70% of all vulnerabilities are related to memory issues.

[@MonLes-xt7gc]

How about Go?

[@OsalenDavidson]

The LORD JESUS CHRIST LOVES Us all

[@pnkemp]

Well I’ve been working in cyber sec for over a decade and beyond a bit of shell scripting I don’t program. So it can be done. But by god it would have been easier if I had as a minimum python.

Bro should i learn goland or c for malware analyst

[@Cryogenics12]

I'm not in the field but for malware you *must* learn C

[@abhishekkumarjha817]

do we need web development for cybersecurity?

Not necessarily, but it does help!
