That's the point, script kiddies refers to young peoples with low to no technical knowledge using tools made by other peoples.
But that's why it's misleading.
Most of the people writing these scripts to exploit known vulnerabilities are not young. It's just an insult to people who write scripts.
The skiddies are the ones using the scripts, not the ones writing them...
Right. Using/writing, my point still stands that most of them are not kids. It's just an insult because it doesn't require much effort, but has nothing to do with youth.
Nice ellipses, though. Makes me know you're not really worth listening to.
Your "point" isn't one, the fact that you don't seem to comprehend that makes me sure you have brain problems.
What are you talking about?
How is that not a point? Lol.
Ahh, you must be mad because I called out ellipses as a tool for smug idiots who don't know what they're talking about.
Lol, what?
First of all, leave the derogatory terms at home. All it does is make you look unreasonable and illogical, just like using smug ellipses.
Err... my entire point from the beginning has been focused on the term 'kiddies.'
Lol. You seem unreasonably upset for no apparent reason. I'm gonna block you now.
Have a nice life, kid.
