Reason why python is best for hackers

Many people learn Python specifically just for hacking and  when I first started with Python and moving from Java to Python personally felt a lot comfortable. When I needed to write a script which was not available on the internet I had to choose between Perl  and Python. Because Perl is another very popular open source interpreted programming language. When you google you will know that Python is a more popular programming language in hacking world. When compared to Perl, the Python programs are definitely clearer, simpler, easier to write and hence more maintainable and understandable.
If you are someone interested in tinkering with the information security tasks, Python is a  great language to learn because of the availability of the large number of reverse engineering and exploitation libraries for your use.

Why Python ?
Without developing some of the basic scripting skills, aspiring hacker will be condemned to realm of the script kiddie. This actually means you will be limited to using the tools that are developed by someone else, which actually decrease your probability of success and increases your probability being detected by antivirus (AV) software, intrusion detection systems (IDS), or law enforcement. With some scripting skills, you can elevate to a  professional hacker.
Python has some very important features which make it very useful for hacking, but probably most importantly, it has some pre-built libraries which provide some great functionality. Python comes with over 1,000 modules and many more are available in different other repositories.

So python is: 
Simple:  Simple is better than Complex and Complex is better than complicated.
Can be both  simple and powerful.
Free, Open Source and a High-level Language.
Object Oriented Language and Interpreted Language.
Has a rich set of libraries.

If you want to excel you skills in Python language learning Black hat Python is your best bet. 

Apart from Python, there are many other languages like C and C++ which are very useful to become an efficient hacker. Since C is a low level language and a very powerful language.. it will be an excellent addition to your profile.

Create a key logger using cmd

Here is a basic  keylogger  script for beginners to understand the basics of how keylogging works in notepad.

Step 2:  Make a new folder on the desktop and name it Logs ( If the folder is not called Logs, then it will not work.) Step 3:  Drag that folder in to the  C: Step 4:  Test out the  Logger.bat ! Related  All-in-one Messenger - FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Skype and many more in one window Step 5:  Alright, now once you test it, you will go back into the Logs folder in the  C: and a  .txt  file w...

Perform cmd death attack

 A ping packet can also be malformed to perform denial of service attack by sending continuous ping packets to the target IP address. A continuous ping will cause buffer overflow at the target system and will cause the target system to crash.  We often use the CMD command “Ping” to mostly check if a server or a gateway is up and running. But, ping command can also be used for some other purposes. If we look at the basic level, then a ping packet is generally of size 56 bytes or 84 bytes (including IP header as well). However, a ping packet can also be made as large as up to 65536 bytes. Well, that’s the negative side of the ping packet. When we increase the size of the ping packet unnaturally, forming a malformed ping packet to attack a computer system, this type of attack is called “Ping of death” attack. How Ping of Death attack works? Not all computers can handle data larger than a fixed size. So, when a ping of death packet is sent f...

What is DNS

D NS stands for Domain Name System is used to as the medium to translate domain names to their respective IP addresses when a client initiates a request query. DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System. DNS can be thought of as an attendance register for various websites present over the internet. In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...
