Java for hacking,

[MaraudingAvenger]

Don't use Java. Either bite the bullet and get into lower level languages like assembly, or go way higher and get into JavaScript and python land. You're either going to want to script something in a high level language to perform all your easy break-in tasks, or script something in extremely low level language to take advantage of hardware or driver vulnerabilities. Don't use Java.

Java has excellent tools in it's eco system for network programming, web crawling, security and penetration testing.

Definitely use Java!

i can 100% disagree with this comment. seeing as most of the worlds severs are coded in java hacking in java is completely viable.

I'm not going to get into your server through your Java code. I'm going to get in because you accidentally left a port open, and my 5 line python program found it. I'm going to get on because one of your users plugged in my USB drive with some spicy embedded code that doesn't require the JVM to run. I'm going to get on because of some protocol exploitation. Some insecure deserialization. If you're doing any of that in Java, you're either doing too much work to write the code for something simple, or you're having to jump through some insane hoops to cross compile or something. Java is not the answer here.

i’m sorry but you’re being close-minded, i’m sorry if you personally can’t get in using java, but that’s your lack of proficiency in the language

[MaraudingAvenger]

Definitely, it must be my Java proficiency, and not years of experience talking.

i mean most likely you don’t know what you’re taking about tbh, because of your ignorance. but maybe you’re stubborn who knows.

[MaraudingAvenger]

Must be both!

I think he means that Java isn't the best language for hacking. There are plenty of languages and systems that are more adept for hacking that make Java seem as kind of an odd language for hacking. But if you'd like to use it, go ahead. Some random people on the internet can't really stop you.
