script kiddies do mischief with scripts and <a href="../R/rootkit.html"><i class="glossterm">rootkit</i></a>s

written by others, often without understanding the

<a href="../E/exploit.html"><i class="glossterm">exploit</i></a> they are using. Used of people with limited

technical expertise using easy-to-operate, pre-configured, and/or automated

tools to conduct disruptive activities against networked systems. Since

most of these tools are fairly well-known by the security community, the

adverse impact of such actions is usually minimal.</p></dd><dd><p> 2. People who cannot program, but who create tacky HTML pages by

copying JavaScript routines from other tacky HTML pages. More generally, a

script kiddie writes (or more likely cuts and pastes) code without either

having or desiring to have a mental model of what the code does; someone

who thinks of code as magical incantations and asks only “<span class="quote">what do I

need to type to make this happen?</span>”</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="scribble.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../S.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="scrog.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">scribble </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> scrog</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
