Script kiddie It is a derogatory term used to describe beginners who pretend to be "hackers" and are complacent. Unlike real hackers who discover system vulnerabilities, script boys usually use programs developed by others to maliciously destroy other people's systems. The common stereotype is that a teenager without professional experience tries to surprise his friends by destroying innocent websites, so he is called script boy.
Script boys often copy script code from some websites and paste it everywhere, but they do not necessarily understand their methods and principles. They admire the ability and exploration spirit of hackers, but what is different from hackers is that script boys usually only have a basic understanding and interest in computer systems, but do not pay attention to the research of program language, algorithms and data structures, although these qualities are necessary for real hackers.
