I met my first would-be scriptkiddie tonight. (Actually I've probably met more, but never this blatant) He probably doesn't know it yet, probably never will. Yesterday he bragged about breaking into his friend's PC - how dumb can you get? Today he's asking me and a couple of online acquaintances (none of which he knows from Adam) how to 'load an exploit to test for vulnerabilites'. He then proceeds to post all the code, (which incidentally he's downloaded from someone and hasn't actually written or even properly understands) into the open channel. Now my "C" knowledge isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but it's clear to me that this is a bruteforce entry onto someone's PC. He then tells me he's learning how to code in "C".
This attitude annoys me on so many levels. He's got a shell account (so doesn't even run Linux), he plays with code that he knows very little about and he thinks it's fun to break into the PC of someone who trusts him. Not only that, but he then has the cheek to brag about it to 4 complete strangers (actually 3, one of them is a clone of me, but he probably hasn't figured that out yet).
He'll probably be smoking in his early teens and sharing needles by his twenties. *Sigh*
