Of course there isn't a single programming language that is best for hacking.. bla-bla...

My completely subjective point of view is that you should learn C or C++. There are several reasons for it:

  • most of the things interesting from a hacker point of view are written in these languages,
  • many other languages resemble either C or C++ so they're easier to learn after a exposure to C/C++
  • most exploits and proof of concepts for vulenerabilities are written in C/C++
  • C/C++ are very versatile so you can use them in a variety of places (platforms)

In addition to these, I would suggest learning some scripting language (python, ruby, perl etc.) and having a try with with java (lots of interesting mobile devices run/have apis for it).

I don't think bash is a "real" programming language, but it should also be part of your hacking repertoire... there are times where nothing is better than a little bash script.

You didn't ask so I won't go to deep in this, but really, hacking is more of an attitude towards things, so don't be centered on a programming language or specific tool. It's not what you know, but how you look at things that makes you a hacker. For honing thhe "attitude" side of things, www.searchlores.org is a very very good starting point ideed.
