Is knowing how to code truly needed since technically it's just looking for vulnerabilities and abusing them, although I don't know much which is why I'm just double checking. (Also if it is needed, are you able to expand on what for) Thx <3

It isn't really required, however, it does help to know a little bit so you can kind of think about how to application/platform is written and is supposed to work. It may help you find an exploit.

So you think having a basic grasp on SQL and frontend languages would be of good use? Also thx for the response

Not just frontend. It will also be beneficial to have a general understanding of PHP, Node.js, etc.

Again depends upon what you are doing. But knowledge of Python, NodeJS, PHP and SQL is required. Also a few tools to learn in order to help you out.

I second anx, but coding knowledge is more important. Hacking without coding is like fucking without lube, it is not pleasant for both of the parties. If you are not able to learn NodeJS and PHP, Python should suffice more than enough + ChatGPT should help you out as well.
