A "script kiddie" is a term used to describe an inexperienced hacker who uses pre-written scripts or tools created by others to carry out cyberattacks. Unlike skilled hackers, script kiddies typically lack deep knowledge of programming or computer systems. They often target websites or networks to exploit vulnerabilities without fully understanding the underlying technology. These individuals may engage in activities such as DDoS attacks or defacing websites for fun or to gain notoriety. While their actions can cause damage, they are generally seen as less dangerous than more sophisticated hackers, as they rely on existing tools rather than creating their own exploits.
