First you need to know the machine architectures of the most commonly used machines (x86, SPARC, PowerPC) so you can understand how a machine processes instructions and allocates memory. Then you need to know the OS architecture, Unix(Linux, Darwin xBSD etc.) and Windows You need to know C, since 90% of all system software is written in C. Then you need to know assembler for x86 (or Solaris HP etc.) so you can understand the shell code and effects of code. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com] On Behalf Of Patrick Olsen Sent: April 27, 2004 4:20 PM To: Security List Subject: [Full-disclosure] programming I was wondering what the first and best language to learn would be for someone new in the security field in order to understand the exploits better and all of thoes things. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
