Is it just understanding flash and then modifying rtmpdump to bypass access controls? Or do your exploits depend more heavily on general web programming knowledge like html, http(s), etc?
I understand if you prefer to PM a response (if you're willing), and forgive me if these questions sound stupid, but unfortunately nobody has ever written a really elucidated post on the skillset for doing these kinds of exploits, and I'm a curious learner.

Nobody teaches these things, you learn by doing.
You say you know C, C++, and Java. Sounds to me though, like you don't actually know how computers work. There's only one skill you actually need - the ability to look at someone else's code and understand what it does. All else follows from this. It doesn't matter what language you're dealing with. Understanding how software works is the same skill, regardless.
