Hi All,
Looking for some feedback as across the board background knowledge for Programming Language that would have some bearing on any IT Security field related careers? Like Networking plays a small part blah blah. I am currently working on the CompTia Sec+ and have been trying to broaden my study knowledge by backtracking into some deeper Networking area, Linux etc etc. Any and all responses are certainly welcome. Thanks!

Agree with all the points, Python first and foremost, ruby can help with metasploit if you're working with that, and html/js for finding vulnerabilities in websites if you do that type of work.Bachelor of Science, IT Security

Not a security guy, but those languages are heavily used in my department, (non security) by others. I've used Powershell 3.0 a couple of times to help pull back AD data. It was very helpful and I could easily see that skill helping out someone scripting against an enterprise.
