I am kind of a n00b but I am studying and learning the Python programming language, can someone tell me what it is capable of apart from graphical design? Can it for instance hack? Another question: has anonymous done any major cyber attacks lately?

What are the arguments for using perl, ruby or LISPH?

Perl is great for banging out quick utility programs, I wouldn't use it for any large projects though.

Like, various format conversions and text mangling, since it has the best regex.
For example, I just wrote a script that scrapes a series of web pages, pulls out select chucks of data and sticks it into an SQL table, plus another script that presents a web page with more advanced queries than the original page offers.
I also use it to proxy and filter RSS feeds so my torrent client can directly download the torrent files from certain broken web sites.
Another does various conversions on Sony's PMF format files. Etc... Oh, and of course there's stuff for spamming /prog/, my favorite being the FrozenChef bot from a few years back.

>>245 Damn! That sounds like some awesome hard work! Where did you learn this craft if I may ask?
One day I wish to be like that. But what do you overall use the most?
>>246
I learned Perl when I did sys admin. These days I mostly use MATLAB combined with a few C functions (MEX compiler) for signal filtering and analysis. And I've been dabbling in Android dev, though I'm quickly coming to not like either Java or the platform.
>>248 System admin as in IT computer lessons? I assume you are on the "good" side...

CPAN is the Perl module repository, i.e. the function library. Makes writing that sort of stuff only a few lines of code. And by sys admin I mean configuring and managing racks of servers (as well as 100s of TB of storage, and tape libraries for archiving and backup).

I'm not pissed off, I just felt sorry about you and your lost time. You can spoonfeed the retards for all I care.

You won't learn anything if you just ask questions without actually diving into it.
That being said, helping people really pisses these sandniggers off and that procures me a certain pleasure.
If you want to blend in, just start praising Lithp and Haskell, that should appeal to all the neckbeards.
>>257 Then teach me how to dive... Haha, I know the feeling, I doubt if they are all from the middle east though... I might need a little more than 2 names... who are they and why are they praised?

Can someone tell me how one finds exploits in a network linked computer without touching the so said computer? Or at least how would you do it and using what?
Do not take advice from anyone on the internet on this subject. Eventually someone will tell you to run their script and then you'll go to jail for 40 years and get out when you're 47.
But if you want, you can start learning how to program right now. Just make something in pygame or something.

There are two reasons why you might want to conduct a penetration test. One, you want to know whether a certain vulnerability is present because you're going to fix it if it is. And two, you need a big, scary report to persuade your boss to spend more money. If neither is true, I'm going to save you a lot of money by giving you this free penetration test: You're vulnerable.

>>262 Did you put serious work into that or did you just tell the hard truth? I was just interested in penetration techniques...
>>261 What do you recommend to start with (language)?
>>263
Python is accessible, has documentation, and libraries. So you might be able to make somethings with that. But if you time on your hands you could also start with real mode assembly and blit the framebuffer.

There are two reasons why you might want to conduct a penetration test. One, you want to know whether a certain Touhou is willing to take it because you're going to convince her to do it if she refuses. And two, you need a big, scary dick to persuade your Touhou to sleep with you. If neither is true, I'm going to save you a lot of money by giving you this free penetration test: *grabs dick*.
Another question: I was messing around in Win8 and I had some trouble, I wanted to change the real text color when for instance searching hoping this was possible just by changing some stuff in the registry I came here, so just to get it clear: I want the actual written text green or any other color (to impress some non computer friends really) So just the text I search with I want green, can this be done? I already configured my browser to display a blood red canvas when loading but I want MORE! Anyone have a solution?
