Derived from the term 'Script Kiddie'.

A Skiddie or Script Kiddie is the term for an adolescent who takes a script from another website and uses it to hack without fully knowing what they are doing.

The key difference between a real hacker and a skiddie is that true hacking requires a large amount of skill, executing a script made by someone else requires little to no skill at all.

Being called a Skiddie or Script Kiddie is possibly the most offending insult a hacker can recieve.

The term Skiddie is often preceded by the word 'Dumb'.

A kid (Normally around age 9-13) claiming to have hacking skills because he can use Notepad to write a small harmless script. These people are normally seen on Youtube or in hackers forums where they are constantly hated on.

Most common formats used by skiddies in Notepad may include .bat (Batch File), .vbs (Visual Basic Script), and rarely .c (C# or C++ Written in notepad often written very poorly).
