Thread: What language to learn for coding BH related applications?

I'm unsure on what language to earn, C++ / C# / VB to create applications for BH use, sending POST DATA etc. Such as PM spammer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Most of them are coded in .NET C#. I have no idea what is the ultimately best language for blackhat applications, but VB.Net is the easiest to start with.

However, if you want something platform independent, go with Java.

If I coded a PM spammer as you mentioned there, it'd be in PHP.

I was thinking about writing it in PHP, I already know some PHP, so I might just stick with PHP for that application, although I'd need to learn to use CURL.

Hi, it really depends on your end market / platform. If you only want to target Windows users then you really cannot go past the .NET framework / C#. If you want to have cross platform but may need to turn the application into a desktop app as well, then Java would be your best bet. If all you want to do build is a web-based app then PHP is all you need.

For most of the applications you'd be developing (so long as you avoid UI dependence issues) you can use your .NET code on Windows or *nix systems. .NET is a good choice to start with as there's more example code than you could wish for and the Mono project (Linux version of the CLR) is very well supported and maintained. If you're looking to avoid Microsoft-esque things, I would start with Python or Ruby, which are both incredible general purpose languages with very active communities. I would highly recommend avoiding PHP if you're seriously looking to learn to program, as it is a terribly designed language that will give you awful coding habits. However, if you're just looking to throw something together quickly it does have its upsides.

nevermind to be honest.
