Programming is one of the most important skills of a hacker. When someone wants to become a hacker, he/she has to be a good programmer. But, what is the best programming language for hackers to begin with? Although, It is very important to have basic knowledge of every programming language still you have to master in a particular language. For that purpose, Python is the most popular programming language among hackers.

Why is Python Programming Language very useful for Hackers?

When you start learning the core of hacking, Python is great. With a giant standard library and a packaging system that puts prebuilt tools and frameworks at your fingertips, it is often very easy to hack something into existence.

1. Python is an Object-Oriented programming

Object oriented programming approach is the most popular approach for software development. It uses classes and objects to create models based on the real world environment. Object-oriented Programming makes it easy to maintain and modify existing code as new objects are created inheriting characteristics from existing ones. This cuts down the development time considerably and makes adjusting the program much simpler.

2. Python has a Simple Structure

Python programs take much less time to develop. Its programs are typically 3-5 times shorter than equivalent Java programs. This difference can be attributed to Python’s built-in high-level data types and its dynamic typing. For example, a Python programmer wastes no time declaring the types of arguments or variables. It supports a programming style that uses simple functions and variables without engaging in class definitions. Python programs follow simple English-like structure.
Python programmer can finish in two months what two C++ programmers can’t complete in a year.

3. Python is a strong scripting language

Python is a general-purpose programming language as well as a scripting language. It can be used for everything that is done in Java. Python and Java interpret during runtime. It allows a good developer to play with hardware as well like server configuration, change server mode, control server behavior etc.

4. It has Rich Library support

Python programming has many pre-built libraries that provide some powerful functionality. Python is a High-Level Language with 1,000 modules and much more are available in various other repositories.

5. Python for Web applications

Python is at home on the web, unlike a low-level language like C. Frameworks like Django, Pyramid, and Flask gives the ability to create real web applications that have the same power as the sites we use every day.

6. Supportive communityAs you step into the programming world, you’ll soon understand how vital support is, as the developer community is all about giving and receiving help. The larger a community, the more likely you’d get help and the more people will be building useful tools to ease the process of development. Python is having:

  • 5th Largest StackOverflow Community
  • 3rd Largest Meetup Community
  • 4th Most-Used Language at GitHub

After launching Windows 8/8.1/10, Microsoft eventually upgraded their built-in antivirus capability to detect malwares and spywares with improved Windows Defender tool.
Sadly Windows 7 users have to install third-party antivirus tools to keep their system safe. And Microsoft always recommends to install their antivirus — Microsoft Security Essentials.
Compared to Windows 10, Windows 7 still has the market share of the top operating systems in use — about 47% of people still use Windows 7 and majority of them had installed Microsoft Security Essential as their antivirus tool.
And according to the German security firm AV-Test, Microsoft Security Essentials is one of the worst antiviruses out there. AV-Test carried out a series of tests in Windows 7 with different antivirus tools and find out that Microsoft Antivirus is the worst performing antivirus along with Comodo’s.
 

AV-TEST says Microsoft’s security solution was worth just 13.5 points, while Comodo was once again at the bottom of the pack with only 12.5 points.
Microsoft Antivirus was rewarded with 5 points for protection, 4.5 points for performance and 4 points for usability. According to test results, Microsoft Antivirus can effect substantially in your system performance and it could also dramatically slow down a Windows 7 system.
The tests were performed in July and August, and Kaspersky’s antivirus products got the maximum 18 points, with 6 points for each stage, namely protection, performance, and usability.

The word hacker has many meanings and in the computer world it refers to “Someone who makes a device work in a way it is not expected to work”. In general, the word hacker is one of the most misunderstood words in English. People generally assume some kind of cyber criminal when they hear the word hacker. But actually, the word hacker has a lot more to do than what people generally assume it to be.
Hackers are generally categorized into three kinds. They are Black Hat, Grey Hat and White Hat.

Black Hat

These are the guys’ people think when they hear the word hacker. These are the Bad Guys, they use their power and intelligence to make money through illegal ways. Whenever they find a vulnerability, they misuse for their own benefit and do not let the owners know about the threat and vulnerability. They try to steal users passwords, emails and other personal details and sell them on Dark Web

Gray Hats

Gray hats fall in between the Black and White hat hackers. These are the guys who find vulnerabilities and disclose them to the government, intelligence agencies or sometimes military. The government then uses this information to hack into an agency or criminal group. They can be individuals or researchers in pursuit of bugs and flaws which might be useful for the government.

White Hats

White hat hackers are the good guys, they hack into a network or hack a software and then notify the respective owner about the bugs that need fixing. They help to build a better and a safer software possible. They make money in form of bounties which they receive whenever they notify a company about a certain vulnerability. The pay varies depending on the severity of the flaw found, however, they can make anywhere between $500 to more than $100,000.

Google in fight with Malicious extensions and toolbars with brand new antivirus for Chrome , but is it really good for already overeaten memory?
The days are far behind when our browsers used to be covered with malicious toolbars which were installed by certain installers unnecessarily. But, they are still malicious browser extensions in existence. Those malicious browser extensions can be found within even google’s chrome web store. Google recently announced that it will take steps to alert the users about malicious extensions and settings but it won’t be an easy task for even big tech giant.
The first of these changes quietly rolled out last month. Chrome can now detect when any extension or installer bring changes in browser settings without any user interaction, and will offer to revert the changes to user.

You’ve probably seen installers that ask to change your homepage or search engine (Bing by Microsoft used to do that similarly Yahoo and many unpopular ones), or ones that do it without your knowledge. Chrome will detect these changes, and the next time you open the browser, it will ask to restore the original settings, isn’t it cool so no more scrapping our heads no more useless extensions or search engines.

New Antivirus for Chrome – Chrome Cleanup

Secondly, Chrome on Windows will have some form of antivirus built-in, called Chrome Cleanup. Google says that the browser will prompt you when it finds ‘suspicious/malicious or unwanted programs’ on your PC, and give you the option to remove them completely and permanently.
Google worked with ESET (Antivirus Giant) to utilize its detection engine for this feature to work, but the company is quick to note that Chrome Cleanup is not a general-purpose antivirus. It sounds like this feature will replace the standalone Chrome Cleanup desktop program, which had a similar purpose.
Many users have mixed feelings about the new Chrome Cleanup feature because it could be Buggy. It could remove your precious cracks. I’m all for removing things from Chrome that the user didn’t install on purpose. But Chrome is already somewhat of a performance hog, especially when it comes to RAM usage, and scanning for malicious software will only make it worse.
Google also says Chrome Cleanup isn’t a general-purpose antivirus, which means users would still need separate software, leaving them with two programs constantly scanning their PC, which would further increase the RAM usage leaving us to curse chrome for doing it and google for ruining the RAM far more.
You can read Google’s blog post about these changes they have a full detailed article and with even more exciting features. Also, The Chrome Cleanup feature will not be included on Chrome for Mac and Linux and will be on Windows on Beta phase.
