Coding for Cybersecurity

Question

Hi I’m studying for cybersecurity and working on getting my CompTIA networking certification in high school… my question is which coding language should I start learning?

Answer 1

There was a job ad from a cybersecurity firm where they prefer/require: VB, C++, Assembly. On the other hand, according to Google, Python is the #1 programming language for cybersecurity due to its versatility - and it's more beginner-friendly.

Answer 2

Python is whats usually used for general automation, due to all the tools avaliable (e.g. pwntools)

But really u need to know a bit of every language and every tool in whatever field u specialize in.
