Learning C++ to make my own exploit. What else do i need to know?

С# and WinForms or WPF (for better design).

All this information is super useful.

I know this reply seems trivial but:

I recently transitioned to Linux (arch) and im wondering how this would impact me. Would you recommend i look for Linux alternatives to cheat engine and IDA or perhaps running a vm for all exploit development?

Thanks!

I made and regularly use my own command-line interface built off WeAreDevs' API.  I completely agree with your point.

Making the injector itself (i.e. W.R.D.'s exploit-main.dll) and the interface which users will use (i.e. JJSploit) are two different things.  The U.I. is the easier one to master.

Most experienced programmers, if given the option between a G.U.I. and a terminal interface, will choose to work with the command line.  This saves on having to switch between mouse and keyboard.  However, I see something even more important.  It's far easier to generate commands using a third-party program and run it on your terminal than it is to engineer a system which moves your mouse to certain buttons and try the best it can to click them correctly.
