Which programming language is mostly used in the world in the term of hacking.
Ex.read/write bytes, making patch, writing keygen and all related stuff.

It all boils down to the use of Assembly. People that make patches, hacks and such like don't just go straight into their IDE and code that shit guessing what they have to do. They use a debugger like ollydbg to reverse engineer whatever they're trying to crack or whatever. The programs (keygen, crack etc) are merely an automated version of what they've done in the debugger if I'm not mistaken. To answer your question though (not that it matters even a little bit) I suppose most people would use C++ because of the fact that you can use inline ASM with WinAPI, but that is the case with a lot of languages and some without WinAPI so yeah it's a pointless thing to know.

Any programming language that gives you access to the necessary APIs can do all those things.

In terms of game hacking:
- ASM
- C/C++
- Delphi (For those that still feel like it's alive..)

As for cracking/keygens etc:
- ASM
- C
- C++

ASM is more used in the cracking/keygen scenes than any other language. Most authors don't know any language outside of it. (Or some flavor of it ex. MASM, TASM, FASM etc)

Where as in game hacking there are a lot more variations. I'd say C/C++ are the most used with gamehacking due to the large amount of FPS hacks that have come along with the use of various game SDKs which are almost always written with C/C++.

As for which you should learn, which ever you are more comfortable with. There is no best.
