Please expand. How would you recommend I go about to learn this (not in a formal setting)? I can not afford to take classes and because of a head injury doubt I could complete it successfully anyways.
In your list I notice you do not mention learning any programming language. Why is that? What do you mean by "OS shell integration"? Is that saying I need to learn BASH as opposed to Python? "string operations must mean BASH.... when you say "regular expressions" is this a good resource here <http://www.aboutlinux.info/2006/01/learn-how-to-use-regular-expressions.html>? Would I use this with BASH or Python or both? I notice that in http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ there is a section that covers using Python with websites so handling and forming automated web requests is probably covered in more advanced Python tutorials. So to sum it up I think I need to learn Python and BASH. Is this correct? I also need to learn XML, JSON (what do you mean when you say "from xml.dom import minidom ; import json") and SQL :-)~MIKE~(-: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- For all the pen testing and hacker stuff I went through (7 some odd years ago), here's what you'll want to know how to do, in approximate order of priority: xml and json parsing (from xml.dom import minidom ; import json) connecting to and using a database (learn enough SQL to be able to navigate around one here too), learning sqlalchemy will be enough to land you a job in the field OS shell integration (import os) string operations regular expressions (import re) handling and forming automated web requests
