It is probably the worst established language exist for hacking so far

It is not low level and i dont think any serious system programs are written in Java. But i might be wrong and am open for other opinions.. It is also important to define what you mean with hacking.

i mean hacking... am... taking some other computer privacy, to find out if their security has vulnerability on it.

I am not an hacking expert but my comments are...

If you do that via a automatic program over network, then Java's networking libraries are enough to to that in high protocol levels. I mean fi you find a bug in FTP protocol, you can use it with Java. But for lower level, you need to develop a JNI interface to low level networking details.

If you are doing it on the host computer (e.g. using a console), then i think you should find the bugs inside the system software on that system and try to exploit it.. And as far as i know, there is nothing related to Java here unless that system software is written in Java.

Not the hacking in strict terms but i use java for small hacking like stuffs like packet sniffing in campus network, website content scrubbing or auto posting.
