[What is a scripts kiddie source network?]

A network which hosts machines which are used to root exploit other
systems.

I think it's important to note that there are two types of hosts 
involved.

One is the system where the cracker has a legitimate account.

The other type is systems that have been broken into because their 
adiministrators either don't care or don't know how to run a secure 
system.  This type of system can be used as a springboard to cause 
more mischief.
