Hacker Hierarchy
Script kiddies – These are the wannabe hackers. They are looked down upon in
the hacker community because they are the people that make hackers look bad.
Script kiddies usually have no hacking skills and use the tools developed by other
hackers without any knowledge of what’s happening behind the scenes.
Intermediate hackers – These people usually know about computers, networks,
and have enough programming knowledge to understand relatively what a script
might do, but like the script kiddies they use pre-developed well-known exploits (-
a piece of code that takes advantage of a bug or vulnerability in a piece of software that allows
you to take control of a computer system) to carry out attacks
Elite Hackers – These are the skilled hackers. They are the ones that write the
many hacker tools and exploits out there. They can break into systems and hide
their tracks or make it look like someone else did it. You should strive to
eventually reach this level.
