Best Language To Make Hacks With?

[Mike3667]

Is there a better language to code hacks with? I heard C++ is pretty popular for this sort of thing. Is it though?

[Sychotix]

it will work. there isnt really a best language.

I'd have to say English. That's just my opinion though.

Thanks, Obama, I was thinking Greek but..

Whilst there is no set "best" language, there are some that are more appropriate than others.

The two that come to mind are C# and C++.

If you want ease of use, safety, etc etc go C#.
If you want more power (and hence more danger), but a MUCH steeper learning curve, go for C++.

Honestly though, unless you have a good reason to use C++ and you know that it's your 'style', go for C#. You can always move to C++ later if you feel it's too restrictive.

P.S. Even if you go with C#, you will still need some C++ knowledge when you get to the more advanced hacking techniques that will require you to load the CLR into the target process.

As Cypher said about C# and C++. You might also consider Delphi, but the two C ones are probably better.
