[C] Anyone have a good starter tutorial?
« on: June 22, 2012, 06:16:18 PM »
After writing a botnet client in python(with some...errr alot of help) I want to make it in something that can be compiled. I have been wanting to learn C or C++ for a while, but I have never been able to understand it very well. I was going to learn C++, but I heard someone here say that C was better for hacking. So, anyone have any tutorials on C?

If you just want to compile the botnet,use py2exe...
Because it will take you long to get the knowledge to write a botnet in C again...
It's much more complex than in Python...

In terms of learning C, I'd say to use something like
-> K & R <-- C bible (Although kind of outdated, 2nd edition is Ansi C)
-> C Programming: A modern Approach (the "heir" to K & R as said by some)

If you want to make it fun, you can learn C along with
-> Hacking The Art Of Exploitation (It teaches C as well as how to debug/dissassemble which is pretty cool)
-> Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment (Teaches more about the Unix system along with C)

All these books can be torrented and found online, have fun : )

The e-books above are great. But if you want some video tutorials i will definitely recommend this website: http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=14

They have great tutorials in almost every major programming language (Java, c/++, c#, c etc)

Hope you will find this useful

I know I could use py2exe, but I really want to use C for other things too. It would be a better investment of my time to learn C. Hell, I'm only 15, I have all my life basically.

No, the author published two books. One "C Primer Plus" and one "C++ Primer Plus".
It's hard to find the first one on the net (for free) because many results come out with "C++ Primer Plus". If you want I can upload "C Primer Plus".

The latest edition I think is the 5th edition.

Well I just found it but for some reason zip is being stupid and saying: zip warning: name not matched.....

Which it's only supposed to do if the file is over 2gb. Which it's fucking not. I tried..


EDIT: Rar worked better. I will also put this in the ebook section.
