Best languages for learn for cyber security #8

Closed Astroknut closed 7 years ago

Astroknut commented 7 years ago

I'm looking for the best languages/backend technologies that I should know when jumping into cyber security. Is there any one technology or language that would benefit me most? Should I focus more on frameworks or languages to ensure secure apps? Is penetration testing the best way to become familiar in this field?

I haven't spoken with anyone yet, but it's 4p and homework time!

Hmmm...I don't know about languages, but these are some tools that will be super helpful in a web context:

HTTP SSL/TLS bcrypt Password hashing SSH RSA SHA Hardware and software firewalls

That will get your feet wet.

Once you've got a good grasp on those, I may have to pass you off to a security expert.

Did that answer your question for now, though?

Absolutely! Appreciate the feedback!
