Man,

Why does everyone seem to think if you download source code for exploits, you are a script kiddie. You are way off. I download source code for exploits, to test on systems, and to examine, as many other people on here do. Does that make us script kiddies? No. I know many network admins that download source code to compile and use to verify that their systems are properly patched/protected. Does this make them script kiddies? No. It means they don't have time to write their own exploits. el-half had the most accurate description. As far as your description CooCooCaChooNZ, you couldn't be further from the truth. Crackers are more often that not the taggers, although occasionally Script Kiddies do it. Windows happens to be a great OS, you are probably running it. So why dump on it. The OS that someone is running has nothing to do with being a script kiddie. If you wanna go based on that, I know several script kiddies who run Linux because they heard it was the hackers os. It's all BS... I can do as much with my WinXP install as people do with their *nix installs. As far as the outdated software. Most script kiddies are rather up-to-date. They tend to go for the 0day stuff, it does more damage. The most basic definition of a script kiddie is 'One who downloads other peoples exploits with a malicious intent."
