Of course these sites are a security risk!! Sheeesh!
A script kiddie is FAR MORE DANGEROUS than any hacker is.
The reason for this is simple.
A hacker can cause some pretty funky stuff to happen. Because he/she wants to.
A script kiddie can do the same EXCEPT they usually have little or no idea what they're doing. When something goes wrong for a script kiddie, they don't have the true hacker mentality to be able to figure ways A) around it or B) ways to fix it 'on the run'. They rely on tools that do the work for them.
Scriptkiddies are realy only dangerous to off the shelf software..
If you make your own firewall and configure your (latest version) apache to run your own (latest version) php stuff.. No scriptkiddy can touch you..
a real hacker on the otherhand has the improvisation scills needed to be able to do something to the smallest error you made !!
