Hello,
I have a background in Java and I have just joined this forum.
I am a little confused, hence, thought would see help on the forum.
I would like to make applications such as "Network Scanners" & "Network Monitoring tool" related to Network Security and perhaps some cryptography applications as well.
- Is it a good idea to develop such tools using C/C++ which provide you low level access to the hardware or Java can also be used to make such tools ?
- Will I require a low level access to hardware to develop such applications as listed above?
- Are there any big time advantages where C/C++ will score more over Java besides providing faster execution and providing low level access.
Thanks !
PS: I do understand that there are many such applications available, however, I want to understand them for my own learning.
