At an elementary level, beginners should learn scripting skills and be able to automate repetitive tasks from the command line (either Windows Powershell or Linux Bash - including sed, awk and grep). From here with a good understanding of system operations, it is very useful to know Python as it can be used for a wide range of programming tasks from filtering and analysis and penetration testing.
