| | Script kiddie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computing, a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty or skiddie) is a derogatory term for inexperienced crackers who use scripts and programs developed by others, without knowing what they are or how they work, for the purpose of compromising computer accounts and files, and for launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS). | | | Script kiddies, instead of attacking an individual system, often scan thousands of computers looking for vulnerable targets before initiating an attack. | | | Script kiddies search for vulnerable computers over massive blocks of the internet. |

| | Skript kiddie - Encyclopedia Dramatica |
| | The tragedy of the the typical script kiddie is that he approaches software the way a priest approaches the eucharist: he is so in awe at the magic of computers, that he looks to it like a sacrement from God. | | | To call someone a script kiddie is usually to insult their intelligence, saying to the person: 'you wish to be considered a hacker, but you cannot teach yourself to develop the tools necessary to accomplish what you want'. | | | Skript Kiddies, Script Kiddies or s'Kiddies are individuals who go about trying to cause things to happen using computers that are either frowned upon, unexpected or malicious in nature. |

| | Define script kiddy - a Whatis.com definition - see also: script kiddie |
| | Script kiddy (sometimes spelled kiddie) is a derogative term, originated by the more sophisticated crackers of computer security systems, for the more immature, but unfortunately often just as dangerous exploiter of security lapses on the Internet. | | | The typical script kiddy uses existing and frequently well-known and easy-to-find techniques and programs or scripts to search for and exploit weaknesses in other computers on the Internet - often randomly and with little regard or perhaps even understanding of the potentially harmful consequences. | | | The SANS Institute describes "Script Kiddies and Packet Monkeys - The New Generation of Hackers." |

| | Also known as an ankle biter, a script-kiddie is an individual who utilizes information, scripts, or other types of software utilities to help exploit or break into a computer or computer program without having a full understanding of how the exploit works or how it was made. | | | What makes a script-kiddie different from a hacker or an advanced user is that the user commonly has a vast understanding of what he or she is doing, explores and locates the security vulnerabilities, and/or creates the programs or scripts that others may use. | | | Were you able to locate the answer to your questions? |
