Wow, thanks! What about python? I guess that's less relevant for hacking, though? I'm not sure. I recently installed ubuntu, so I want to learn python - does it have any applications outside of my own system/others' computers that run on linux?

any programming language is useful, learn it if you wish to learn, personally i think c/c++ or perl would be better for hacking

thanks for the advice

Python runs on Windows and OS X too, but doesn't come pre-installed on Windows. You can do just about anything with it.

Thanks. Obviously I have to go and learn a lot about python, but I wasn't sure whether it would be a good use of my time (as a newbie) or it would be better to learn another language first. I'm working through the basic missions, anyway, so at the moment I'm focusing on unix command lines and such, but before I move onto realistic I think I'll pause and spend a little time dabbling with different languages to at least get a feel for them.

You can Google for the free version if you don't want to buy it.

Thanks! The free link's on that page, too, so no need to google. Much appreciated. I'm bogged down with uni work at the moment, so I don't think I'll have time to even begin learning properly until sometime in June, but hopefully I can get a little bit done before that

I would really like a mentor because I have NO Idea on how to hack ^^ Anyone willing to help me please send me a PM And I will send all the details.

I know a tiny bit about html, but that's about it

No one will mentor you. Especially when you don't bother reading before you speak.
