What is on Your Mind?

Exucuse me, but if you work like a programmer you must know what assembler is. You don't to know how to program assembler but if you do debbuging than you must know as instructions.
Networking is just one small piece of puzzle, you must know computer arhitecture, for the first step google "Von Neuman and Harward achitecture" , then learn about computer logical devices like XOR, NOT etc. After that buy dragon book to learn how compliler works . Sit down and learn, learn, learn ....

these are the things that you need to know if you want to be called an engineer ...we are talking about high level of ethical hacking so having know these basic facts , my question was what programming languages (aprt from shell,perl,c,c+) one should know ?..

i meant these are the basic things , u must know atleast to be called an engineer

Hackers are crayz engineers. They must know mattery better than avarage engineer.

yes ..that's right!

I have not tried this course (yet) by myself but it seems to be very practical:

Online BackTrack Security Training by Offensive Security.

Of course you need to read read and read. As web developer and sys admin I would like to learn hacking mainly to protect my server and web apps and I think it is better get some training otherwise you/I can get lost in some many topics and fields.

Yeah... Try BackTrack... You should see few of their video's...
I am running BT5... an ubuntu derivative by these guys... they have quite a few tools to start you off...

Btw. learn English and it's grammar, start to write "I" instead of "i" and so on...
