If you follow the dictionary link further elsewhere you will find that ticken is a cognate of "tick" or "ticking" which is elsewhere defined as a textile mattress covering [sometimes blue and white] which seems to be nineteenth century in usage. So assuming a literate hacker, a reference to the site's "wrapper"?
You're rashly assuming the author is a native English speaker. Or that it's even an actual word (or derivative thereof). I know of a cat that was named Miz Moppet originally, but got renamed 'Nockie' because her favorite human was about a year old and still speech-challenged. Remember - Biff was somebody's dog's name originally.
