    You’re assuming “kiddies” means literal children, but no. It means skill level.
    The problem with scripts kitties is that they’ll only use pre-existing pen-testing tools, maybe those tools work maybe they don’t, either way the script kiddie learns nothing.
    To be a real hacker you need to bare minimum learn a programming language and seek to learn the interworkings of a computer.
    Script kiddies tend to not even attempt to learn.

      the script kiddie learns nothing.

      He has something in common with the “real programmers” in this sub then, disregarding an article and even calling the author ignorant because the thumbnail has some …ascii art?

        I’mma be honest, the thumbnail does fit the article pretty well…
        Because they’re both pretty wack. It’s just restating the same talking points that have been around for decades. I was expecting something more original and technical because of the thumbnail.
        Pretty disappointing.
