Q. Why to learn programming?
A. 1. Hackers are the problem solver and tool builders, learning how to make programs will help you implement solutions to problems.
3. Writing programs can also help you identify and exploit programming errors in applications that you will be targeting.
4. You can customize the already existing applications and add your methods to suit your needs.
There are some Ethical Hacking Tools For example:
There are some Social Engineering Techniques for hacking.

For example:
A. Cryptanalysis is the art of trying to decrypt the encrypted messages without the use of the key that was used to encrypt the messages.
This takes a lot of time, storage, battery etc.
There are some Cryptanalysis techniques some of the most common techniques are : Brute force, Dictionary attack, Rainbow attack ect.
