I believe that every security specialist must be able to write his own
tools, it's a handy skill and you would need it sooner or later.

Can you share what is your programming language of choice, and why?

Python. Easy to learn, easy to write, others understand your code
easily, lots of pre-existent code to learn from.

On the other hand, asking which programming language is the best is
like asking which girl is the most beautiful to 10 different guys.
You`ll get a group that will say the blonde one, but others will say
LISP ;)

Cheers,

Cheers
