Strange Computer Languages: A Hacker’s Field Guide

  Strange Computer Languages: A Hacker’s Field Guide Why do we build radios or clocks when you can buy them? Why do we make LEDs blink for no apparent purpose? Why do we try to squeeze one extra frame out of our video cards? We don’t know why, but we do. That might be the same attitude most people would have when learning about esolangs — esoteric programming languages — we don’t know why people create them or use them, but they do. We aren’t talking about mainstream languages that annoy people like Lisp, Forth, or VBA. We aren’t talking about older languages that seem cryptic today like APL or Prolog. We are talking about languages that are made to be… well… strange. We have to start at the beginning. INTERCAL. This was started as a joke in 1972 and the acronym is purportedly for Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym. There was no actual implementation, though, until around 1990. Now there are two: C-INTERCAL and CLC-INTERCAL. Since INTERCAL is a parody, it makes some very o

Best Hacking Certifications 2023

-

 There are several certifications that are considered reputable and respected in the field of ethical hacking and information security. Some of the best ones for 2023 are:


 Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) - Offered by the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council), this certification is designed to teach individuals the skills necessary to identify and prevent hacking attempts.

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) - Offered by (ISC)², this certification is for experienced security professionals and covers a wide range of topics in information security.

Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) - Offered by Offensive Security, this certification focuses on practical penetration testing skills.

GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) - Offered by SANS Institute, this certification teaches incident handling and incident response.

Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) - Offered by ISACA, this certification focuses on the audit, control, and security of information systems.

It's important to note that certifications alone do not make a person an expert in this field, it requires a lot of practice and experience. The certifications are a way to show that the person has a certain level of knowledge and skills in the field.

"Exploring Bug Bounty Programs: How to Earn Rewards for Finding Security Vulnerabilities" Bug bounty programs are initiatives launched by organizations to encourage security researchers and ethical hackers to find vulnerabilities in their software or systems, in exchange for a reward or compensation. Bug bounty programs are a way for organizations to identify and fix security issues before they can be exploited by malicious actors. There are several bug bounty programs available from companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, as well as third-party platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd. To participate in a bug bounty program, researchers typically need to sign up and follow the guidelines provided by the organization offering the program. There are also several tools available to help researchers find vulnerabilities in software and systems. Some popular bug bounty tools include: Burp Suite - A web application security testing platform that can be used to identify v

FORTH:The Hacker’s Language

  FORTH:The Hacker’s Language Let’s start right off with a controversial claim: Forth is the hacker’s programming language. Coding in Forth is a little bit like writing assembly language, interactively, for a strange CPU architecture that doesn’t exist. Forth is a virtual machine, an interpreted command-line, and a compiler all in one. And all of this is simple enough that it’s easily capable of running in a few kilobytes of memory. When your Forth code is right, it reads just like a natural-language sentence but getting there involves a bit of puzzle solving. From Thinking FORTH Forth is what you’d get if Python slept with Assembly Language: interactive, expressive, and without syntactical baggage, but still very close to the metal. Is it a high-level language or a low-level language? Yes! Or rather, it’s the shortest path from one to the other. You can, and must, peek and poke directly into memory in Forth, but you can also build up a body of higher-level code fast enough that you wo
