In hacker culture a script kiddie or skiddie,[1] (also known as skid, script bunny,[2] script kitty),[3] are unskilled individuals who use scripts or programs developed by others to attack computer systems and networks and deface websites. It is generally assumed that script kiddies are juveniles who lack the ability to write sophisticated hacking programs or exploits on their own, and that their objective is to try to impress their friends or gain credit in computer-enthusiast communities.[4] The term is typically intended as an insult.
