script kiddie 

n. (Hacker Lingo) One who relies on premade exploit programs and files ("scripts") to conduct his hacking, and refuses to bother to learn how they work. The script kiddie flies in the face of all that the hacker subculture stands for - the pursuit of knowledge, respect for skills, and motivation to self-teach are just three of the hacker ideals that the script kiddie ignores. While anyone can be a script kiddie, generally they are teenagers who want the power of the hacker without the discipline or training involved. Obviously anyone who follows this route aspires to be a blackhat, but most refuse to even dignify them with this term; "blackhat" generally implies having skills of your own.
Other common terms for the ubiquitous script kiddie are lamer, llama, jackass, pre-pubescent ten-year-old, and of course the most unique, asshat.

Word of the Day on October 22, 2024
A bad reference to thug life used by predominantly well off, good looking people who very temporarily live in a van and post lots of selfies hoping to become social influencers. This is nothing like the actual homelessness or poverty that leads people to live in vehicles, it is a privilege similar to the tiny house movement. It relies heavily on photo ops in iconic places that people only learn about on Instagram, not as actual nature enthusiasts. Most #vanlife photos are taken of skinny white blonde women in underpants “having fun” or “ just living a modest life”.
