For my edjumacation, could someone clarify what a scripts kiddie source network as it's being bandied about here is? I can only *assume*, and I try to avoid doing that (not always successfully).
A script kiddie is the most common form of system cracker. He attacks remote systems using scripts and programs that were written by other people. He usually does not have the brains to write his own attack scripts/programs. I would assume that a "scripts kiddie source network" is a network where the administrators do not bother to investigate reports of system cracking attempts from their network. This effectively gives these crackers a green light to go and attack people, since they know they won't lose their access. This is in contrast to a responsible network, which will investigate reports of cracking, and will take action against the crackers by terminating their access and/or pressing legal charges. -- David
