Script kiddie

A comic illustrating Script Kiddies, "Code by Numbers" (c)2001 Bill Holbrook. The caption was "Color. Fun pages for the Internet hacking crowd."

A Script Kiddie (also called a skid) is a term used to refer to idiotic children that find snippits of code on the internet, compile them together, and make a virus or other malicious program that they do not know how to control, nor have the knowledge of its function. These people cause confusion, delay, and harm to everyone. Due to their tech illiteracy, they are usually quickly found, arrested, and punished.
