Firstly, BackTrack is for pentesters, not 1337 haxx0rs. If it's your aim to crack into other people's stuff, my advice would be to make friends with the prison warden, you'll be seeing alot of him in a few months when you realise you're not as smart as you think.

If you, like me, are interested in the learning/challenging part of breaking stuff then power to you. I'd recommend you learn to script for the original Bourne shell and then GNU Bash. I'd then recommend you learn C, then Perl, and then either Python or Ruby (or both (preferably both)). Then I woud learn C++, C# or Java (I prefer C#), and then at least one functional language like Haskell. That should keep you occupied for a few years.

Try search on google for the algorithm or try do it yourself, but id rather prefer google search (:

Try English.

*backtrack...

Really, I'm just kidding, but if you really want to be taken seriously, try to improve your grammar!

On to your question:

If I were you I would just start learning a language. Find one that you like, and stick with it!
