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.

Kali linux android simply amazing

How to Install and run Kali Linux on any Android Smartphone TUTORIAL FOR INSTALLING AND RUNNING KALI LINUX ON ANDROID SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS Kali Linux is one the best love operating system of white hat hackers, security researchers and pentesters. It offers advanced penetration testing tool and its ease of use means that it should be a part of every security professional’s toolbox. Penetration testing involves using a variety of tools and techniques to test the limits of security policies and procedures. Now a days more and more apps are available on Android operating system for smartphones and tablets so it becomes worthwhile to have  it on your smartphone as well. Kali Linux on Android smartphones and tablets allows researchers and pentesters to perform ” security checks” on things like cracking wep Wi-Fi passwords, finding vulnerabilities/bugs or cracking security on websites.  This opens the door to doing this from a mobile device such a...

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...

How tor works

 Using the publicly available data, data visualization software firm Uncharted has prepared TorFlow — a map for visualizing how TOR’s data looks as it flows all across the world. It shows TOR network’s node and data movements based on the IP addresses of relays bouncing around the connections of users to avoid spying. TOR is the world’s most widely used tool for anonymity purposes . It has grown into a powerful network that’s spread all over the world. Surprisingly, the TOR project is transparent about the location of the TOR nodes and thousands of machines that power the network. This non-profit organization frequently published an updated list about the bandwidth and location of the computers and data centers spread all across the world. Using the same public data,  TorFlow  maps the TOR network’s nodes and data flow all around the world. This data movement is measured based on the IP addresses and bandwidth of the relay computers bouncing around the...
