A hacker or cracker who uses existing programs or compiles prewritten scripts in order to find weaknesses on target systems. These users don't always understand the complexities of the scripts they are executing and therefore do not always realize the damage they inflict.
A person, normally someone who is not technologically sophisticated, who 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. This is often random and with little regard or perhaps even understanding of the potentially harmful consequences.
A low-level amateurish hacker. They are generally regarded as mischief makers as opposed to real threats.
someone who would like to be a hacker but doesn't have much technical expertise.
a "cracker" wanna be who doesn't know enough to come up with his/her own exploits, but instead relies on "scripts" and exploits that have been developed by others
an unsophisticated hacker or cracker who looks up tools (scripts) and then uses them to hack
a person who uses scripts and programs developed by others for the purpose of compromising computer accounts, files and launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS), and in general does not have the ability to write said programs on their own
A person, normally someone who is not technologically sophisticated, who randomly seeks out a specific weakness over the Internet in order to gain root access to a system without really understanding what it is s/he is exploiting because the weakness was discovered by someone else. A script kiddie is not looking to target specific information or a specific company but rather uses knowledge of a vulnerability to scan the entire Internet for a victim that possesses that vulnerability.” ( script kiddie, 2002)
a.k.a.. script bunny, script kitty, skiddie. A derogatory term for a cracker who uses scripts and programs developed by others to compromise computer accounts and files, and launch attacks. A script kiddie generally does not know how to write these kinds of programs and does not know how they work.
The lowest caste of a hacker. A person who uses tools to hack and has no idea what they are doing. Or a person who understands the process but does not understand how something works.
A person, usually an adolescent or pre-adolescent, who uses and exploits a system weakness published by someone else.
An inexperienced and unskilled "hacker" who attempts to infiltrate or disrupt computer systems by running pre-fabricated scripts designed to crack those systems. Script kiddies are regarded as mischief makers as opposed to real threats. Generally refers to a teenage group of people.
A person who uses tools to exploit websites, computers and networks without any understanding of how they work. In the world of IT security they are universally looked down on, by IT staff as a menace and by crackers as lacking talent to write their own tools.
A hacker or cracker who uses malicious code written by others to damage a system. Usually novices, script kiddies often do not understand the complexities of the scripts they are using and can often be blind to the damage they can inflict.
In computing, a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty, script kiddo, "skidiot", skiddie or Victor Skill Deficiency (VSD) and even lamer) is a derogatory term for inexperienced hackers 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). In general, they do not have the ability to write these kinds of programs on their own. Such programs have included Win Nuke applications, Back Orifice, Net Bus, Sub7, and Metasploit.
