Script Kiddie

 What is a Script Kiddie?

A script kiddie, or skid, is a term that describes a young hacker who has much to learn yet acts as if he or she knows everything. Most of them are teenagers who are in it for fun and treat hacking as a game. Mostly they hack for bragging rights. They also don’t make a real effort to improve their hacking skills. Most don’t even know how to write a hacking program or ‘script’ and are content to pirate those made by others. This lack of skills often leads to their arrest because they leave a trail that’s easy for investigators to track down.read more
