Definition: Script Kiddie
From Wiktionary
1. (derogatory) A (usually amateur) hacker who compromises files on others' computers or launches attacks on computer systems, using widely distributed
computer programs or scripts, rather than using their own unique programs or scripts.
From Wikipedia
In hacker culture, a
script kiddie, occasionally
script bunny, skiddie, script kitty, script-running juvenile (SRJ), or similar, is a derogatory term used to describe those who use scripts or programs developed by others to attack computer systems and networks.
It is generally assumed that script kiddies are juveniles who lack the ability to write sophisticated hacking programs or exploits on thier own, and that their objective is to try to impress their friends or gain credit in computer-enthusiast communities.
From Urban Dictionary
n. (Hacker Lingo) One who relies on premade exploit programs and files ("scripts") to conduct his hacking, and refuses to bother to learn how they work. The script kiddie flies in the face of all that the hacker subculture stands for - the pursuit of knowledge, respect for skills, and motivation to self-teach are just three of the hacker ideals that the script kiddie ignores. While anyone can be a script kiddie, generally they are teenagers who want the power of the hacker without the discipline or training involved. Obviously anyone who follows this route aspires to be a blackhat, but most refuse to even dignify them with this term; "blackhat" generally implies having skills of your own.
Other common terms for the ubiquitous script kiddie are lamer, llama, jackass, pre-pubescent ten-year-old, and of course the most unique, asshat.
