Good morning everyone,

I am interested in gathering some opinions here, I am currently enrolled in a degree within Info sec and had some questions for everyone.

As I review some job postings at which I am going to apply for, I see a lot of positions require XML, PHP, etc...

My question is, is scripting something I should be familiar with, within the infosec world? If so, what do you guys suggest?

I've read into PHP, XML, Java, Python and a few others. Many people recommend Python...

I have zero to very little experience with any scripting, so any comments and suggested are greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

To illustrate how important it is to understand scripting in the Info Sec arena read up on XSS (cross site scripting). Some very creative hacks involve scripting and it is very helpful to have a least a minimal understanding of the web scripting languages.
