How much do I need to know about coding to learn ethical hacking?

>>60145670
learn you a haskell before hacking a gibson

install gentoo

Bump for interest.

COME ON LET'S HELP ANON LEARN HIS ETHICAL HACKIGN AND USE IT AS A FORCE FOR GOOD

>>60146170
Perhaps he wants to be like the big eyed mr.robot dude.

I'd suggest ohpee to search for a cybersecurity career in a respectable uni and check its program.

>>60146228

Isn't a cybersecurity degree a meme?

>>60146170
Like, literally doing hacking? Well, a fucking lot, it's a pretty obvious thing. To hack something, you need to know all the in and outs of that thing, so you need to know how to read programming languages, and to do that you need to know the language as the back of your hand.

>>60147454
^Has no idea what he's talking about

>>60145670
Literally none. You don't need to know how to identify $badPractice in code, you just need to know what the signs of $badPractice are and WHY it's bad practice.

Like you don't need to know how to write a system to store unsalted passwords but you need to know how to identify one in the wild.

>>60146523
At my uni it's just slightly different than a CS degree. At least they don't treat it like a meme.

>>60145670
Hacking also requires a lot of creativity and analytical thinking. It's not only good coding skills that are necessary.

>>60145670
Hacking violates the NAP therefore it is unethical and socialist.

>>60150719

fuck the NAP

very

>>60145670
Depends. Are you reading kernel code to look for exploits?

>>60152042
Or are you using existing tools to pen test networks?

There is no real answer

>>60145670
More than you can afford pal

>>60152051

I'm just pentesting away

>>60152148
0. Know how computers work (users, file ownership, elevation)
1. Know tcp/ip
2. Learn common industry practices
3. Learn the Software tools involved
4. Keep up with the news on new exploits
5. Should probably learn how to script for automations sake
6. Remember that network testing is all but useless if I can just walk in and steal the data physically

>>60152387

But you won't steal the data physically because you are a weakling.

lol moralfags

>implying looking like a week it guy won't make it easier to get in

>>60145670
You should know a few languages, some web dev stuff and some basic algorithm analysis /design stuff

>>60145670
only if u want to make your own or tweek existing tools or exploits, also for scripting for automation

with coding u can create 0-days tho if u get that good, and if u nderstand systems and apps
